Indiana State Police say 25-year-old Shawn L. McGan was taken into custody at ThyssenKrupp Waupaca in Tell City Friday night.   Warrants had been issued out of Ohio County.  Authorities say it stems from a fight in a church parking lot last fall where the victim was stabbed.

After locating McGan, troopers transported him to the Perry County Jail and he was then returned to Ohio County.

The victim has recovered from injuries sustained in the fight.
