City man given prison term in stabbing incident

CUMBERLAND — A 37-year-old Cumberland man was sentenced to serve three years in prison Tuesday in connection with the stabbing of a man in July on Park Street, according to the Allegany County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Timothy Dewayne Moon-ey was sentenced in Allegany County Circuit Court by Judge W. Timothy Finan to seven years in the Maryland Division of Correction with four years suspended as a result of the July 25 incident.

Mooney entered a guilty plea to second-degree assault in connection with the incident. He was originally charged with second-degree attempted murder, two counts of assault and reckless endangerment.

The victim suffered a single stab wound to the rib cage. A small folding knife was used in the incident, which was investigated by the Cumberland Police Department.

The case was prosecuted by Deputy State’s Attorney Fred Voss. Mooney was represented by Assistant Public Defender Eddie Kulkarni.
