Woman who used ‘tire plug tool with a metal spike’ to stab a man instead of showering with him, claiming he put ‘stuff down my throat,’ could be in even bigger trouble now

Briley Turner

Briley Turner (Monroe County Jail).

A 25-year-old Indiana woman who claimed she beat a man with a bat and stabbed him repeatedly with a knife and a “tire plug tool” in self-defense when he was expecting to shower with her could be in deeper trouble, as the victim in the case has died weeks later.

Court documents say Briley Shayne Turner did not dispute that she attacked 36-year-old Michael Hodge on Aug. 18 at an apartment in Bloomington, where she was found by police covered in blood and lying on a couch before she claimed “I had to defend myself, dude.” But investigators said the totality of the evidence instead pointed to attempted murder. With Hodge’s reported death at a hospital on Sept. 11, it’s possible that Turner may face a murder charge next.

According to the Bloomington Police Department, music was blaring at the Kinser Flats apartment where Hodge was beaten in a bathroom with a baseball bat and stabbed multiple times.
