PANAMA CITY BEACH -- A night of drinking and flirting with women at a Panama City Beach motel ended with one homeless man stabbing another earlier this week, according to a police report.
Officers responded about 8:45 p.m. Saturday to the Plaza Motel at 12830 Front Beach Road, where Andrew Martin Werner had been stabbed in the right leg. Werner, 55, told officers that he and some friends were drinking at the motel when Gregory Charles Weatherly “started acting weird” and began making sexual advances toward a woman in the room, according to the report. Werner said he told Weatherly to leave. Weatherly, 53, then allegedly stabbed him in the leg with a folding razor blade knife.
Werner told officers he went the bathroom to inspect the wound, and Weatherly allegedly followed and tried to stab him again. That attempt was thwarted by Werner. Afterward, Weatherly went outside, walked downstairs and sat down, according to the report.
Officers reported finding a folding razor blade in Weatherly’s pocket. Weatherly denied stabbing Werner, according to the report.
Weatherly, who police reported is a transient with no known current or former address, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He is being held in Bay County Jail.
Werner also is a transient, police reported. He was treated at Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart Health System and released.
