CALEDONIA, Minn. — A Brownsville man who stabbed and critically wounded his father last spring has admitted to the deed in what appears to be a plea-deal in the works. Nicholas McCabe, 24, conceded to a lesser charge of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon — a pair of scissors — outside the family business in Hokah. The original charge was attempted murder. The Houston County prosecutor was persuaded that McCabe is mentally ill. The case remains active under Judge Carmaine M. Sturino.
