A man who attacked his parents and left them seriously wounded last year in Champlin has been ordered to serve 11 years in prison, court records show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travis William Lester, 40, pleaded guilty last month to two counts of second-degree attempted murder. A judge sentenced him on Friday to 135 months and 15 days, with credit for 245 days served in jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a criminal complaint, police responded to a report of a domestic assault on the 7100 block of 120th Avenue North the evening of Sept. 5. A neighbor had found a woman covered in blood, and police found another victim, a man, bloodied on the deck of the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man said his son, Lester, had stabbed him and his wife in what he described as a \u201cdrug-induced rage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both victims were taken to the hospital in critical condition and received emergency surgery for their injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lester was later arrested when officers spotted his car in Lino Lakes. A butcher knife and a jar containing suspected methamphetamine were recovered from the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lester admitted to stabbing his parents and said he had been thinking about doing it for \u201ca day or two,\u201d court documents state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
