The arrest follows an investigation of an attack that took place Sept. 8, when officers from the Sheriff’s office were called about a man reportedly bleeding from the head on the 2600 block of North Mt. Gilead Road.
Though the man was not there when they arrived at the scene, officers soon found his address and identified him as Jason Grubb, 41.
Grubb was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital where he was treated for a large laceration to the head and a fractured skull.
After interviewing Grubb and witnesses, detectives concluded that Lee Wilbur, 33, had been “disputing with Grub over a female acquaintance and that Mr. Wilbur had made threats to kill Mr. Grubb,” according to the release.
Witnesses said Wilbur struck Grubb in the head with an ax handle before fleeing the scene on a motorcycle.
Wilbur is currently being held in the Monroe County Correctional Center.
