Man dies after stabbing in hotel; suspect charged with murder
A man stabbed Tuesday night at a downtown Anchorage hotel in an apparent dispute over $11.50 died from his wounds Wednesday morning, police say.
At first, police charged Jackie Adams, 50, with first-degree assault as his alleged victim, Andrew Wilson, also 50, clung to life at a hospital. But prosecutors upped the charge to second-degree murder after Wilson died.
Adams allegedly stabbed Wilson in the abdomen at the Inlet Inn late Tuesday, police said.
According to the charging document, the dispute started when Adams tried to throw Wilson out of a hotel room Adams and a woman had rented, the charges say.
Several people were drinking in the room, according to witness accounts in the charging document. Inlet Inn policy is to charge $11.50 for any unregistered guests in the room after 10 p.m., police said. Witnesses said Adams woke Wilson at 10 p.m. and told him to leave because Adams didn't want to pay the fee, police said.
