(KNZA)--A rural Mayetta man charged in a fatal stabbing last November is now facing additional charges.

49-year-old Wilson Noriega is accused of fatally stabbing 49-year-old Leann Sanchez early November 21st at a residence on the Prairie Band Potawatomi Reservation where the two lived. He’s charged with first-degree murder, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia in the case.

Now Noriega has also been charged with trafficking contraband in a correctional facility, a “ shank”, along with criminal use of weapons and criminal damage to property. The charges stem from a December 14th incident in the Jackson County Jail where Noriega has been held since his arrest.

Meanwhile, the Holton Recorder reports Noriega is requesting dismissal of his attorney. A hearing on his request to dismiss Holton Attorney J. Richard Lake is scheduled for Friday afternoon.

Noriega remains in the Jackson County Jail on a one million dollar bond.
