HUDSON, Wis. – Details about a Hudson stabbing that led the City Council to impose a curfew against late-night boozing show up in a criminal complaint that charges a Blaine, Minnesota, man with murder. The complaint says that the victim, Cain Solheim, was with group in Hudson to hit the bars. They were leaving Dick’s Bar when one of them accidently bumped into someone from another group and apologized. Everything had seemed OK between the groups, according to the complaint, but then one guy jumped someone in the other group. A fight ensued. At one point, a witness told investigators, he looked over and saw a man with dreadlocks, later identified as William C. Davidson, as stabbing Solheim multiple times as they wrestled on the ground. One of Solheim’s friends told television station KARE that he himself was being brutally attacked and beaten when Solheim “came to my rescue.”
