FAYETTEVILLE -- A Fayetteville man pleaded guilty Tuesday to his role in an altercation that left two people with stab wounds.

Chaucencey Boles, 24, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree battery and was sentenced to four years' probation.

Matt Durrett, chief deputy prosecutor, said Boles admitted during an extended change of plea hearing Tuesday to causing serious injury to two people.

Boles was scheduled for trial Tuesday but the case ended in a plea bargain because witnesses were uncooperative, Durrett said.

The incident happened Sept. 29 at the 62 Event Center, a night club on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. A private security guard at the club called 911 and said they lost control of a large disturbance outside the club involving people with bottles, bats, knives and guns.

Police found one victim stabbed in the abdomen. The other victim suffered deep lacerations on his inner forearm, according to police. Both were hospitalized.

The victims were later identified as Reginald Wiley of Mineral Springs and Charles Vaughn of Nashville.

Boles was found trying to leave the parking lot in a blood-covered car, according to police. He told police several men were trying to kill him.

Witnesses told police Boles got into a fight with one of the victims and stabbed the other when he tried to intervene. Some witnesses said Boles had a brass knuckle knife in his hand during the fight.

Boles told police he was walking to his car from the club when he saw a fight going on in the parking lot. Boles told police an unidentified black man attacked him and struck him on the head. Boles denied he had a knife.

Boles was initially arrested on suspicion of two counts of battery and possessing an instrument of a crime.
