Man arrested in NLV in stabbing case

March 9, 2008 - 9:00 pm

FULLERTON, Calif. -- Police have made an arrest in the stabbing of two men in a Fullerton movie theater.

Fullerton police Sgt. Linda King said Steven Walter Robinson Jr. was arrested early Friday in North Las Vegas.

King said a person who recognized Robinson provided information to Fullerton police.

She said witnesses had identified Robinson through Department of Motor Vehicles photos.

Fullerton police reported that the two victims were stabbed last month during a showing of the horror film "The Signal" at an AMC theater.

In "The Signal," a transmission invades cell phones, radios and TVs, turning people into killers.

King said Robinson is being held in North Las Vegas pending extradition to Orange County.
