SANDBRIDGE, V.A. (AP)—Restaurant employee accused of assaulting a co-worker.
Media outlets report that 22-year-old Winston C. Stahl was charged Monday with two counts of assault on a person, one count of malicious wounding, and one count of attempted s****l assault. Stahl is employed as a cook and dishwasher at a local eatery.
According to an arrest warrant from city police, Stahl is accused of striking 26-year-old Brad Ripton, a contract carpenter, causing “a laceration to his lower ear and bleeding” and twisting the victim’s arm with enough force to break bones.
Restaurant records show Ripton was also employed at the same eatery, part of an extended contract for rebuilding and repairs.
It is unclear if Stahl has an attorney.
