A Hatboro man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly stabbed his neighbor to death amid a dispute over the victim’s loud snoring.  Court officials say 55-year-old Christopher James Casey was hit with third-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and possessing instruments of a crime for his alleged role in last week’s incident.  Police say Casey and the victim – 62-year-old Robert Wallace – had been involved in a months-long dispute over the suspect’s loud snoring.  Investigators say that dispute turned physical last weekend when Casey allegedly used a large military-style knife to stab Wallace in the chest.  Wallace died at the hospital a short time later.  Casey’s bail is set at one million dollars.
