In January, Charles Turner pled guilty to first-degree domestic assault after stabbing an employee at the ASC. The employee survived the attack and Mr. Turner turned himself into police following the incident. 

Mr. Turner was the father of the victim’s child and allegedly committed the crime because he became upset he could not visit his daughter after splitting with the victim.
