by Nick Delgado

Guam - A father and his two sons were arrested after they allegedly attacked another man at a medical fundraiser in Mangilao. Police say the incident happened back in March.

24-year-old Roy Taitano and 26-year-old Ron Taitano allegedly assaulted the man claiming he owed their father money. Police say 53-year-old Manuel Taitano then jumped in and allegedly stabbed the victim multiple times with a knife. The men then fled the area, and the victim was treated for his injuries.

While the alleged incident happened nearly five months ago, police say it was only yesterday they were able to locate the trio and get them to cooperate. Roy and Ron were booked and released on charges of conspiracy to commit assault, while Manuel Taitano was booked and confined for an attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, assault and conspiracy.
