NEW YORK, Jan 21: Christopher James Casey was arrested on Thursday, accused of fatally stabbing Robert Wallace after a heated argument stemming from Casey’s loud snoring. The incident unfolded on Sunday, Jan. 14, when Wallace visited Casey’s home during dinner, leading to a confrontation.

Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office revealed that the argument escalated, resulting in Casey using a large military-style knife to stab Wallace multiple times in the chest. Wallace was discovered around 50 yards from his residence and was rushed to Abington Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

During the altercation, Casey also inflicted a self-inflicted stab wound to his right thigh. Authorities noted previous disputes between the two men, particularly centered around Casey’s loud snoring, audible through the shared wall of their residences.

According to an affidavit from 6 ABC, Wallace attempted to de-escalate the situation by offering to shake hands and contribute to nasal surgery expenses to address Casey’s snoring issue. However, Casey doubted the sincerity of Wallace’s intentions and, believing it to be insincere, decided to surprise him with a knife attack.

Prosecutors have charged Casey with third-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and possessing instruments of a crime. He is currently held in jail with bail set at $1 million and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on January 29.
