Fred Meyer Stabbing Suspect Arrested In Hillsboro Wednesday

HILLSBORO, OR — A man wanted in connection with a stabbing incident at the Cornelius Fred Meyer last Friday was arrested in Hillsboro this week thanks to an anonymous tip, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Samuel Christian Jones Lund, 29, was taken to the Washington County Jail following his arrest Wednesday. He is charged with attempted murder, assault, and possession of methamphetamine, along with a probation violation.

Lund was reportedly found March 14 at a residence in the 100-block of Southeast 26th Avenue in Hillsboro — almost a week after he allegedly stabbed a 33-year-old man multiple times outside the Garden Center at the Cornelius Fred Meyer, 2200 Baseline St.

Lund and the man he allegedly stabbed are reportedly acquainted, though police have not identified the stabbing victim, who sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the attack, police said.

Lund has a history of theft and possession of meth charges. Officials previously said Lund was also wanted on a warrant, though it was never made clear why.
