Man charged in Branch County stabbing case

A Jackson man has been charged with assault and home invasion following an incident last week in Branch County’s Union Township.

Dustin Sprague, 31, faces two charges of attempted murder after stabbing his former employer and another man at a Burlington Road home just after 12:30 p.m. Jan. 2; both are life felonies.

The assault on Edward Gulliford and Curtis White, both 33, was recorded on surveillance video at White’s home, Branch County Prosecutor Zack Stempien said.

Gulliford was transported by LifeCare to Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo, where he underwent emergency open-heart surgery. White, meanwhile, was treated for slashes to his face and head.

The office of the public defender will represent Sprague.
