According to the USADC, Stover began yelling and cursing at the man. That's when Stover took out a knife and swung it at the man's leg, causing him to fall.
Once on the ground, Stover continued to stab the man six times in his chest, back and leg.
After the incident, neighbors found the man and called 911. He was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for multiple stab wounds.
Ring camera video from a home nearby captured the stabbing and identified Stover as the attacker. The attorney's office noted that Stover and the victim did not know each other.
About a month later, Stover was arrested and has been in custody since then.
On Friday, a judge also ordered Stover to serve three years of supervised probation upon his release.

2 men charged with throwing Molotov cocktails at officers during protests
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office on Wednesday announced charges against two men accused of attacking law enforcement with Molotov cocktails during recent immigration protests in the Los Angeles area. Emiliano Garduno Galvez, 23, of Paramount, and Wrackkie Quiogue, 27, of Long Beach, are each charged with possessing a destructive device. Both face a maximum of 10 years in federal prison if convicted. According to U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, Galvez hid behind a fence during a protest targeting an ICE raid in Paramount on Saturday and threw the explosive at a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy before running away. Deputies quickly chased and arrested him. On Sunday, police arrested Quiogue 'after spotting him with a Molotov cocktail in his hand,' Essayli said at a news conference. 'Officers witnessed him throw the device in the air and then arrested him with a lighter in his right hand.' No law enforcement officers were seriously injured. Both protests led to officers using tear gas, flash bang grenades and rubber bullets to disperse crowds of violent demonstrators, federal officials said. 'The last few days, we have seen vicious attacks on our agents and our properties here in the federal government. The escalation of violence by these rioters poses a serious threat to our agents and the safety of the public,' Essayli said. 'Throwing rocks, explosives, assaulting agents, and committing other acts of violence are extremely dangerous and will not be tolerated.' Officials said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department collaborated on the two cases.

US Marshals escalate manhunt for fugitive dad wanted in daughters' murders
The U.S. Marshals Service has activated its elite Rapidly Advancing Manhunt (RAM) program in the urgent search for Travis Decker, wanted in connection with the murder of his three daughters in Washington state. The RAM program, according to the U.S. Marshals Service, is designed to expedite the capture of violent fugitives through real-time intelligence coordination and rapid deployment of specialized teams, is fully engaged in the effort to apprehend Decker. More than 100 officers from federal, state, and local agencies are actively involved in the manhunt in an intensive search effort that includes aerial surveillance, tracking dogs and backcountry patrols. The Marshals Service is offering up to $20,000 for information directly relating to Decker's arrest. The U.S. Marshals' continued involvement comes as the Chelan County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they have assumed the role of lead investigative agency in the girls' killings. In a clarification issued Wednesday, the department shared with Fox News Digital that the Wenatchee Police Department is no longer the lead agency in the killings. The shift in jurisdiction comes as the investigation continues to focus on rugged wilderness areas within Chelan County, where Decker was last seen. On Tuesday, June 10, authorities announced that they were zeroing in on the Army veteran. On Monday, the agency received a tip from a group of hikers of a man who appeared evasive and unprepared near the Ingalls Creek and Valley High areas late Monday night, according to the Chelan County Sheriff's Office (CCSO). "Our office recently received a tip from a hiking party who stated they spotted a lone hiker in the Enchantments area who appeared to be ill-prepared for trail and weather conditions, and appeared to be avoiding others," the sheriff's office said in a press release. Authorities subsequently acted on the tip and "spotted a lone, off-trail hiker from a helicopter near Colchuck Lake who ran from sight as the helicopter passed," CCSO said. Search teams were able to establish a trail and deploy K9s throughout the area, leading them to Ingalls Creek. SEE IT: PHOTOS OF THE SEARCH The wooded area is located approximately 30 miles from Rock Island Campground, where the bodies of Decker's three daughters, Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were found on June 2. The bodies were found three days after they did not return to their mother following a court-approved visit with Decker. GET REAL-TIME UPDATES DIRECTLY ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB Authorities said Decker, a former Army infantryman with survival skills, may have used his rugged survivalist capabilities to evade capture. Authorities previously described him as "dangerous," warning residents not to approach him and describing him as armed. "This is someone with military training, someone who's lived off-grid before," Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison said. "We're dealing with a highly capable survivalist who may be using the terrain to his advantage." If convicted, Decker could face a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
