Grand jury indicts man accused of stabbing MVH nurse
DAYTON — The man accused of stabbing a Miami Valley Hospital nurse last month was indicted Monday, Nov. 9, on 12 felony counts, involving three separate attacks on women
James M. Cundiff, 42, a tier III sexual offender, is charged with four counts of aggravated robbery, four counts of felonious assault, and single counts of tampering with evidence, abduction, aggravated menacing and aggravated trespassing.
The aggravated robbery and felonious assault counts all include repeat violator offender specifications, which would enhance any sentences on those counts.
“This defendant terrorized multiple victims in our community” said Montgomery County Prosecutor Mathias H. Heck, Jr. “He is a violent, habitual criminal who must be incarcerated in order to protect our citizens.”
According to Heck:
— On Aug. 28, Cundiff robbed a homeless woman on South Main Street, then cut her with a knife as she tried to flee.
— On Sept. 29, Cundiff attacked a woman who was on the porch of her North Belmonte Park residence, grabbing her and placing her in a headlock. She opened her door, let out her dog and yelled for her husband. Cundiff then fled.
— On Oct. 1, Cundiff followed two Miami Valley Hospital employees as they walked to the employees parking lot. He stabbed one of them, an ICU nurse, in her neck and took her purse and bags before fleeing.
Cundiff was released from prision in March 2002 after serving 18 years of an 8- to 25-year sentence. He was convicted of rape and aggravated robbery in Mahoning County in October 1984.
