PALATKA, Fla. -- The search is on for a Palatka man accused of stabbing a total stranger eight times during a doughnut shop robbery.

Palatka police said they need help tracking down 33-year-old Leonard Grice Jr., who they called a violent criminal.

The robbery occurred at the Dunkin Donuts at 14th and Reid streets in May of last year. During the robbery, the victim, 49-year-old John Perry, was stabbed.

Investigators said evidence at the scene led them to Grice.
