Monroe Unfiltered

The fourth man police were seeking in last Wednesday's Main Street stabbing has turned himself in. Tyler James Steigerwalt, 30, surrendered at Stroud Area Regional Police headquarters Saturday (Sept. 26) and was taken to Monroe County Correctional Facility. He is charged with simple assault, harassment by physical contact, and disorderly conduct, and his bail is listed at $5,000. Police did not list a hometown for him.

Steigerwalt is the man police had described as wearing an all-black T-shirt. According to police, surveillance video shows that man trading punches and grappling with Jonatan Regalado Gonzalez after the stabbing.

Here is where the case stands. The fight broke out around 10 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 630 Main St. Police say video shows Gonzalez, 40, of East Stroudsburg, and Christopher Cucinello, 36, of Tobyhanna, trading punches and throwing outdoor chairs on the sidewalk. Gonzalez struck a woman who tried to break it up, police say, and Brendan Wells, 32, of Tannersville, then stabbed Gonzalez in the back. Gonzalez was treated at a hospital for injuries to his arm and back, then taken into custody.

Wells is charged with attempted criminal homicide and related offenses. Cucinello and Gonzalez are each charged with simple assault and related offenses. Steigerwalt's charges do not include the attempted homicide count Wells faces.

Police thanked the public for its help. All four men are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
