Charges set in fatal stabbing of bouncer at Aliso Viejo club
A man and woman from Hesperia will be charged in connection with the fatal New Year’s Day stabbing of a bouncer outside an Aliso Viejo nightclub, officials said Tuesday.
Lorne Paul Kelley, 26, and Candie Kate Wilson, 45, are to be arraigned today in the death of Brandon White of Dana Point and the wounding of another bouncer, Orange County sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said.
Kelley is alleged to have stabbed White in the neck, and Wilson is accused of washing bloody clothes and destroying other evidence, he said.
The victim had recently filed an application to become a sheriff’s deputy, Amormino said.
Kelley and Wilson were allegedly involved in a fight with other patrons of the Time Out Tavern & Night Club early Monday when the bouncers tried to break it up and were stabbed.
The fight started over whether the Army or Marines is the better branch of military service, though no one involved was in the military, Amormino said.
