Overview
- Solano County deputies say an altercation inside Cool Patch Pumpkins’ corn maze around 9:15 p.m. Friday led to two people being stabbed and taken to hospital; the victims have been identified in reports as a 19-year-old from Dixon and a 20-year-old from Vallejo.
- A 28-year-old man from Sacramento was arrested at the scene and investigators recovered a weapon while clearing the maze at night.
- Deputies searched the large labyrinth and found no other injured guests after clearing the site, a task officials called challenging because of the maze’s size and the late hour.
- Cool Patch Pumpkins, a family-run attraction once noted by Guinness World Records for its maze, reopened the next day and posted that there was no current public safety threat.
- The sheriff’s office says the episode was an isolated escalation and the probe is ongoing with the victims’ current conditions not yet released; officials and owners say they will continue coordinating on safety as the attraction finishes its seasonal run.
