RICHLAND CENTER — A 25-year-old Darlington man faces charges after a stabbing in Richland Center and police chase into Grant County Sunday afternoon.

Alvaro Adame-Reyna was arrested after the chase that ended with a crash in the Town of Marion, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.

Richland Center police received a report of a woman stabbed near Los Amigos 2 Restaurant in the 100 block of North Main Street. Witnesses said Adame-Reyna grabbed the woman and stabbed her multiple times before a passing motorist interrupted the stabbing.

Police said the woman and Adame-Reyna had been in a relationship that the woman recently ended.

The woman was taken to The Richland Hospital for two stab wounds. Police said she was treated and released.

Adame-Reyna left the area in his car, and another person had to jump onto the hood of his car to avoid being hit by the car. Police said that person was not injured.

Grant and Richland county sheriff’s deputies spotted the vehicle driven by the suspect in Blue River around 1:55 p.m.

The vehicle went through a stop sign at North East Street and Wisconsin 133 and continued south on Grant County T at high speed for almost 15 miles before crashing into a ditch near Tower Road.

Reyna suffered minor injuries, the Sheriff’s Office said. He was transported to the Richland County Jail.

Charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, stalking, recklessly endangering safety, operating after revocation, ignition interlock tampering or failure to install, and two counts of bail jumping are being referred to the Richland County District Attorney’s office.

Reyna will be charged in Grant County with fleeing or eluding an officer, with additional traffic citations expected, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.

Boscobel Police, Fire and EMS assisted Grant and Richland county deputies. Sheriff’s deputies assisted Richland Center police.

Adame-Reyna is charged in Richland County with second-offense operating while intoxicated, ignition interlock device tampering or failure to install, and operating after revocation after he was arrested June 19. Adame-Reyna was arrested on a bench warrant after he failed to appear for his first hearing June 30. After a status conference Wednesday, another status conference is scheduled for Dec. 3.

Adame-Reyna was convicted of first-offense operating while intoxicated in 2023, according to court records.
