Briley Turner (Monroe County Jail).
The Indiana woman accused of attacking a man with a tool normally used to help patch damaged tires has officially been charged with murder after her alleged victim died in the hospital.
As Law&Crime has previously reported, Briley Turner, 25, allegedly beat Michael Hodge, 36, with a bat and stabbed him repeatedly with a “tire plug tool” on Aug. 18. The violence occurred in an apartment in Bloomington, where police found Turner covered in blood and lying on a couch.
She initially claimed self-defense, saying to police: “I had to defend myself, dude.”
