I’m sorry, but I couldn’t locate any recent news reports matching the description of a “slasher found guilty of possession of lone but given probation.” It’s possible that there might be a misunderstanding or a typographical error in the details provided.

However, here are some recent criminal cases that might be of interest:

• Muslim Brunson Case: In April 2025, Muslim Brunson, 46, was charged with second-degree attempted murder, second-degree assault, and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon after allegedly stabbing a woman in the neck with a broken bottle in New York City’s SoHo district.
• Brian Whitelock Case: Brian Whitelock, previously convicted of murder, was released on parole but committed another murder in 2022. He has since been sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

If you have more specific information or details about the case you’re referring to, please provide them, and I’ll do my best to assist you further.
