MARQUETTE – An Ontonagon County man was arraigned Friday morning on charges related to an alleged stabbing early New Year’s Day in Marquette.

Casey Brian Kallio, 26, of Ewen was arraigned in Marquette County District Court on one count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, and one count of malicious destruction of personal property between $200 and $1,000.
