Investigation will tell if she stabbed herself. I doubt it. Your probably his mother
I know the situation the girl is a drunk and stabbed her self and blamed him she’s in the hospital as we speak for alcohol poisoning, fake story all the way she ruined his life and I feel horrible for him
Yep, hes former law enforcement so they gave him the lower charge, which is still up to 7yr in jail. Hope he gets all 7
Stabbing with a knife should be attempted murder not assault.
well there goes his career…..say we all sing Workin at the Car Wash doo doo doot!
Some guys are really sick. He dont need help, he needs to go to prison
