5-year sentence in stabbing at Stateline casino

Christopher Calder

A Bay Area man is going to prison for stabbing his friend at Harveys in 2014.

Christopher Calder, 33, of San Francisco stabbed Timon Sung of Novato in the abdomen after the two had been arguing about the level of noise in their hotel room.

Calder’s attorney had hoped his client would be able to go to a drug and alcohol rehab program. The judge said five years in prison better fit the crime.
