Police confirmed a suspect was arrested after stabbing two teenage football players. 46-year-old Turon M. Savoy. Savoy lost his mind the moment his son was getting his a** beat by two other teammates for assaulting their head coach.
Self-defense is one thing, but when a person decides to jump in and use unnecessary violence, that’s where the line is crossed. Savoy damn near put himself in position for the high school shank award of the year. \
Chesterfield Police Chief Col. Jeffrey Katz confirmed the team held their practice at Carver Middle High School. Katz also commended the two players on social media.
Officers say a player on the team was reprimanded by a coach and dismissed from football practice. 8News is told that player returned back to the field with his father and things quickly escalated. Chesterfield Police say the 17-year-old started physically assaulting his coach. Two other players, a 17 and 18-year-old, jumped into action to protect the man who guides them on and off the field, their coach.
The player’s father, 46-year-old Turon Savoy, pulled out a knife and stabbed the teens in the chest and face multiple times and ran from the scene, according to police.
Officers were able to locate Savoy and arrest him.
Both teenagers survived with non-life-threatening injuries.
