...the elderly woman was using her walker outside when she was approached by a man later identified by police as 28-year-old Rigoberto Walker.

"[The elderly woman] was moving a plant when the suspect came up to her and yelled [expletive] and then hit her several times," the documents state. "Initially [the elderly woman] did not realize she had been stabbed, but then felt blood on her side and heard gurgling coming from the wound."

Walker was found by APD officers near Peck Avenue and was taken into custody. The documents state a search warrant was granted for his backpack, but police didn't find a knife.

After being questioned by detectives, Walker was taken to jail and is facing multiple counts of assault. The documents state that Walker told police the stabbing "was the government's fault" and "the government made him do it."

According to the charging documents, Walker has numerous prior convictions stemming back to 2010. Police say Walker is a repeat violent offender and has 17 priors including six felonies. Walker has five prior assaults, four arson convictions from 2018 and a 2010 coercion conviction based on an underlying assault charge.

Man, that's sad.

Mental illness is a bitch.

Hopefully one day we'll be able to fix that with firmware updates.
