A Hopkinsville man was arrested Thursday night on the strength of a warrant for attempted fetal homicide for an alleged assault on a pregnant woman that put her in a Nashville hospital.
It alleges that on August 1, 20-year old Tyquarius Stubbs of Hopkinsville assaulted a pregnant woman that he had dated at one time. He’s accused of using the buckle of a belt to strike the woman, in addition to punching and kicking her numerous times.
He also allegedly used his hands to strangle the victim and put a table in front the door when she tried to leave, threatening to kill her if she called police.
The woman was eventually able to escape to her car as Stubbs chased her on foot, driving to Jennie Stuart Medical Center, where she was treated and then transferred to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Stubbs is charged with attempted fetal homicide, first-degree strangulation, assault in the second-degree, intimidating a participant in a legal process and unlawful imprisonment.
