SANDPOINT — A felony charge against a Sandpoint man implicated in a stabbing is being upgraded to attempted murder.

Tyler John Bowlby-Brooks made an initial appearance Friday in Bonner County Magistrate Court via video link with the Bonner County Jail. Judge Debra Heise set Bowlby-Brooks’ bail at $250,000 and appointed a public defender to represent him.

A hearing to determine if there’s enough evidence to proceed to trial is slated to be held later this month.

Bowlby-Brooks, 18, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery after the stabbing in the 1400 block of Church Street on New Year’s Eve.
