One of the victims would later tell police they didn’t give an accurate description of the suspect due to a fear of harm from the suspect 28-year-old Justin Thompson. A child was also in the room in the room at the time of the incident.
Thompson was charged with aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of children, and recklessly endangering another person.
He’s awaiting a preliminary hearing.
