ROSTRAVER 鈥� A Westmoreland County detective described a gruesome crime scene when he went to investigate the stabbings of three people for no apparent reason last month in a Mon Valley bar.

鈥淚t almost looked as if the entire floor was mopped with blood,鈥� county detective Randall Gardner said while testifying Monday at the suspect蘑菇视频 preliminary hearing.

District Judge Charles Christner ruled that enough evidence was presented at the hearing in Rostraver Township to order Eric Demont Cook, 43, of Donora to stand trial on charges including attempted homicide.

Christner also set bail at $500,000 for Cook, who has been held without bond since he was arrested in the case March 27.

One of the victims, Elisa Lenzi, testified she had known Cook since middle school and invited him to the bar at Just A Tavern in North Belle Vernon to introduce him to her friends about 1:30 a.m. March 7.

Lenzi said she witnessed her boyfriend, Christopher Chambers, push Cook after the suspect pulled a knife out of his back pocket.

Cook蘑菇视频 attorney, David Allen Regoli of New Kensington, then ask her if his client 鈥渟tabbed three people for no reason鈥�?

鈥淵es,鈥� Lenzi responded. 鈥淚t happened so fast I didn鈥檛 even feel myself getting stabbed.鈥�

She was beginning to cry when she said she lost four pints of blood after being stabbed in the upper right thigh.

Chambers said he pushed Cook backward after Cook lunged at him with the knife.

It was only later after both men fell to the floor that Chambers realized he was bleeding.

Chambers said he needed 70 stitches at Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, to close wounds on his chest, the side of his face below the ear and upper left arm.

The third victim, James Lookabaugh, was out of town Monday, but he has committed to testifying in the case when it reaches Westmoreland County Court, Gardner said.

Investigators have said that Lookabaugh was stabbed near his heart and required 16 staples to close a wound on his side.

A witness at the bar at 508 Broad Ave., Shelley McGavitt, testified that Cook had approached her before the stabbings, telling her she had a nice smile.

He then showed her a folding knife with a black handle.

鈥淚 said, 鈥楯ust relax. Calm down and put that away,'鈥� McGavitt said.

She said the next thing she knew there 鈥渨as a bunch of people on the floor fighting,鈥� prompting her to climb over a fallen barstool and leave the bar.

Police have said Cook became fixated on Lookabaugh after Cook told the group that he is a felon and just got out of prison.

Lookabaugh then reportedly said to Cook, 鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 put that on my r茅sum茅.鈥�

Cook, of 508 Market St., was returned to Westmoreland County jail on three counts each of attempted homicide and simple assault and six counts of aggravated assault.

Regoli told the court his client is on supervised release in a federal drug case.
