A 20 year old Logansport man has been charged with two felonies in the stabbing of his own mother. 

Jesse James Baumgardner was charged by the State of Indiana with two felonies at his initial hearing Thursday in the Cass Circuit Court for the November stabbing of his mother. The initial hearing is set to continue December 10. He faces aggravated battery, a Level 3 felony and battery by means of a deadly weapon, a Level 5 felony. 

Baumgardner, who has already admitted to the crime, is being held at the Cass County jail without bond. 

On November 29, around 11:30 am, the Logansport Police Department was called to 928 Erie Avenue with a report of a stabbing.  According to the probable cause affidavit, the female victim was found lying on a bedroom floor with a large chest laceration and a cut above her left eye. She was treated at the scene and later taken to Logansport Memorial Hospital. 

The witness at the scene advised officers Baumgardner was not in his right mind. 

It was reported that during his interrogation the suspect admitted to wanting to kill his mother, stating he'd try to do it again if he ever saw her. He also gave details on the stabbing, claiming to have pushed her on the kitchen floor, intentionally stabbing her twice.
