Court records show the suspect in the stabbing case, Jaime Canales, was found incompetent to stand trial in the criminal case in Travis County.
In the lawsuit against H-E-B, Deputy Luke Werner, represented by attorney James Wood, argues H-E-B was negligent and put Werner in a dangerous situation. "They let a crazy person having an outburst, a violent outburst in their store for over an hour. The timeline was just far too long for H-E-B not to have done anything," Wood said.
Bastrop County denied his workers comp claim because H-E-B was his employer when the stabbing happened. Man charged for stabbing Bastrop Co. deputy multiple times at Austin H-E-B Werner is seeking damages for medical bills, mental anguish, and more. Wood says Werner is not able to enjoy the things he used to, and he was almost taken away from his family.
