‘White knight’ accused 
of stabbing man with 28-inch sword

SYCAMORE – A DeKalb man dressed Saturday as a white knight allegedly stabbed a man with a sword, sending him to the hospital.



Kyle P. Keegan, 29, of the 800 block of Fotis Drive in DeKalb, was charged with two counts of aggravated battery – a Class 3 felony punishable by up to five years in prison. He appeared at a hearing at the DeKalb County Courthouse on Monday via closed-circuit TV from the county jail. His bond was set at $50,000.



According to court documents, Keegan – wearing a white knight costume and carrying a 28-inch sword – claimed someone was shooting paintballs or BBs at him around 3:15 a.m. Saturday near the corner of Edgebrook Drive and Blackhawk Road in DeKalb. He yelled for whomever was shooting at him to “show themselves.”
