The Washington County man accused of trying to kill his ex-girlfriend last week made an appearance in court and in front of our cameras Thursday morning.

On July 22nd authorities say 19-year-old Thaddeus Salomon stabbed 23-year-old Susan Lawson outside her New Matamoras home.

He fled authorities and was later caught in Pleasants County.

Salomon waived his extradition hearing Thursday morning in Pleasants County court.

Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks says they expect Salomon back in Washington County by August 8th, where his trial would take place once an indictment is handed down.

Salomon spoke to W.T.A.P. photographer Max Harris outside the Pleasants County Courthouse, telling Harris Lawson's stabbing "was an accident", and saying he was sorry for what happened.

We'll have more on what Salomon said tonight on W.T.A.P. at 5 and W.T.A.P. News at 6.
