The man accused of attempted fetal homicide and felony assault was arraigned in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday morning.
Tyquarius Stubbs is facing charges of attempted fetal homicide, second-degree assault, strangulation, unlawful imprisonment and intimidating a participant in a legal process and public defender Eric Bearden entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf in the courtroom of Judge John Atkins.
Evidence in the case has been handed over to the defense, and a preliminary hearing was set for November 16.
An HPD arrest warrant alleges Stubbs 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.
