PRESTON, Minn. – A Wykoff man has admitted to first-degree assault for a stabbing behind an Ostrander cafe in November. The plea was negotiated by an attorney for Noah Foster, 34, in exchange for a dropping a more serious charge. The deal would have Foster agreeing preferably to no more jail time – he’s been held since November — but accepting 39 months. Judge Jeremy Clinefelter kept Foster’s bail at $75,000 and delayed sentencing to July. Foster was accused of stabbing a co-worker a half dozen times during a cigarette break from their kitchen jobs at Susie’s Roadhouse Bar and Grill. Foster’s girlfriend told investigators that he suspected her of cheating. The victim got away, ran inside the cafe, locked the door and called 911.
