STERLING – An apparent neighborhood feud quickly turned violent when, police say, a Sterling man stabbed two other men early Saturday.

Bond was set at $500,000 for Ryan M. Mills, 25, charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a weapon, punishable by 3 to 7 years in prison. His preliminary hearing is Thursday.

Police responded to a report of a fight around 1:30 a.m. at West 12th Street and Avenue K. The two men, both stabbed in the side, were taken to CGH Medical Center with non-life-threatening wounds, police said.
