A Portland, Ore. resident was allegedly stabbed<\/a> 15 times by a homeless<\/a> robber<\/a> who followed the victim home on Saturday night and stole part of a jackpot, authorities revealed.<\/p>\n

\"Montana's
Montana’s Bar in Portland, Ore., pictured above. A lottery winner at the bar later was robbed and knifed. (Image: TripAdvisor)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The resident had collected about $2,000 while playing lottery<\/a> machines at Montana’s Bar<\/a> in Portland shortly before the violent assault, according to Oregon<\/a> TV station KATU<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He appeared to have met the would-be suspect, Pablo Andres Figueroa, 61, while at the bar.<\/p>\n

After scooping up the loot, the victim walked to his residence located in an apartment building. He was unaware that Figueroa was tailing him the whole way back. When Figueroa reached the building, he made his way through a security gate.<\/p>\n

\n

As the victim entered his apartment, Figueroa pushed the door and threw him to the floor, authorities said. Figueroa then allegedly began punching the victim in the face and ordered the victim to hand over the cash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The victim turned over some of the money, but Figueroa wanted more of it.<\/p>\n

Stabbed in Arms, Chest, Face<\/h2>\n

Frustrated, Figueroa then took out what was described as a pocketknife and slashed the victim in the arms, chest, and face. The repeated stabbings halted when the victim pretended he was dead, apparently remaining motionless on the floor.<\/p>\n

Local police were alerted and began to search for the suspect. Figueroa was eventually found in the building\u2019s garbage room. Officers searched him and found $624. They also discovered blood on his pants and pocketknife in a litter box near the victim\u2019s front door.<\/p>\n

Figueroa was charged with attempted murder, robbery, assault burglary, and unlawful use of a weapon. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in a court appearance on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s scheduled to return to court on Tuesday. If convicted on the charges, he could face a prison sentence.<\/p>\n

Prior Convictions<\/h2>\n

Police did a records check on Figueroa and found out that he was convicted in Arkansas and California for various charges, such as battering a spouse, threatening a crime with intent to terrorize, and failing to comply with sex offender reporting requirements.<\/p>\n

\n

A 2022 case is also pending in Oregon\u2019s Multnomah County for unauthorized use of a vehicle and possession of a stolen vehicle. He was also arrested in Oregon\u2019s Washington County in 2021 for identity theft and drug charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Last Friday, he failed to show up for a court appearance.<\/p>\n

The victim is expected to recover from his injuries. Police didn\u2019t provide details on the extent of his wounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
