Overview
- Police say the alleged attack followed a dispute over giving a ride without a request through a rideshare app, with the stabbing occurring Monday morning.
- Officers located Jovaughn Nathan Matthie inside a nearby IHOP, released body-camera video of the arrest, and recovered a knife wrapped in cloth from his clothing.
- A Seminole County arrest report says Matthie threatened to stab the driver in the heart, stabbed him once in the right chest and attempted other stabbings.
- Matthie has been charged with attempted murder and resisting arrest, he declined a public defender at an initial hearing, and a judge ordered him held without bond.
- Authorities have not released the driver’s condition and say they are withholding some details to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation while Uber confirmed the incident did not occur on an Uber trip.
