Lawrence Edmonson Arrested After Alleged Stabbing at Blue Martini in Fort Lauderdale
By Palm beach and Broward Mugshots.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lawrence Constantine Edmonson, 52, was arrested following an alleged st@bbing inside Blue Martini, a popular Fort Lauderdale bar and lounge, on the night of Thursday, August 6, 2026.
According to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, officers were dispatched shortly before 10:40 p.m. to the establishment on E. Sunrise. Multiple callers had reportedly contacted 911 about a st@bbing.
When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from several stab wounds. The injured man was transported to Broward Health Medical Center in serious condition. Police said he was expected to survive.
Investigators allege that Edmonson and the injured man had been involved in an altercation before the st@bbing. Edmonson reportedly left the area afterward.
Police used license-plate-reader cameras to locate Edmonson’s vehicle. Officers then deployed a Grappler device, which is designed to immobilize a fleeing vehicle by entangling one of its rear wheels. The vehicle was stopped, and Edmonson was taken into custody.
Authorities said Edmonson had sustained minor injuries during the earlier confrontation. He was subsequently charged with attempted murder and held without bond at the Broward County Main Jail as of Friday afternoon.
Police had not publicly released the injured man’s name or further details about what allegedly led to the confrontation.
The charge against Edmonson remains an allegation. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
