Redondo Beach man pleads to knife attack
A Redondo Beach man who attacked his live-in girlfriend with a knife pleaded no contest Thursday and was sentenced to four years in state prison.
John Christopher Mielke, 32, pleaded no contest in Torrance Superior Court to one count of corporal injury on a cohabitant and an allegation he used a knife in the Oct. 11 incident, according to Deputy District Attorney Lana Kim.
Mielke stabbed his girlfriend several times in the arms and legs with a kitchen knife, according to police.
He was charged with a previous attack, but the counts were dropped in exchange for the plea.
