A Graceville senior citizen is recovering from eight stab wounds he received during a home invasion.

The incident happened sometime early Wednesday morning at a home on 12th Avenue in Graceville.

Graceville Police got involved after the resident, John Rangland, showed up at the Graceville Campbellton Hospital around 1:00 in the morning.

Doctors say he had eight, one-inch stab wounds in his upper body.

Graceville Police Chief Elton Horton says the suspect is a woman who intended to rob Rangland. “A white female stepped inside the house and asked for money and he told her he didn't have any money. They got in an altercation and he was stabbed about eight times."

Rangland apparently gave the woman $50 dollars after she stabbed him.

Police are looking for Lorenda Pelham, also known as "Nicky" for questioning about the incident.
