On Wednesday, November 21st, 2012 at 5:22 a.m. deputies were dispatched to the “Farmer’s Market” located at 49301 West Papago Road, Maricopa regarding a stabbing.

When deputies arrived on scene, they located an adult male victim who had been stabbed multiple times. The victim was treated at the scene by emergency medical services personnel and then transported to the Maricopa Medical Center for treatment. His injuries are considered to be non-life threatening.

Detectives from PCSO Persons Crimes responded to the area and took over the investigation. The investigation revealed that several migrant farm workers all living at an address in the 51000 block of Quail Run had been drinking beer throughout the night. At approximately 1 a.m. an argument broke out between two cousins.

The argument began after Isidoro Renteria Contreras (age 35 of Mexico) made a disparaging comment about his cousins mother. The argument continued to escalate verbally until Isidoro removed an 8” field knife and attacked his cousin stabbing him multiple times. Isidoro showed no remorse for stabbing his cousin.

Isidoro was arrested and booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center for Aggravated Assault. An immigration hold will also be placed on him as he admitted he is in the United States illegally.
