It is reported a female who lived in that complex was in the process of a divorce from Yoder, and had another male at the residence. Yoder allegedly stabbed the male victim in the leg, causing injuries that left the victim in serious condition. The victim, Matthew Ganger, 35, Syracuse, was transported by Samaritan Air to Parkview Medical Center, Fort Wayne, after a landing zone was set up at Wawasee High School.

Police later showed up at Yoder’s residence on Kinder Drive to serve and utilize a search warrant on the home.

Syracuse Police were assisted by Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department and Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department.

Yoder was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail at 5:53 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8, on a charge of aggravated battery with a bond of $15,250.
