His Wife Retracts Accusations
Following his arrest, “SuperChef” Ferguson was arraigned, pleading not guilty to all charges. His bond had been set at $10,000. On January 10, Ferguson’s lawyer, Krsna Tibbs, informed the judge that the victim and her lawyer asked for the bond to be reduced. This agreement stemmed partially from their three children, with Ferguson (their father) playing a crucial role in their care.Furthermore, Tibbs told the judge that the alleged victim had retracted the accusation of being strangled by “SuperChef” Ferguson. He clarified that he had discussed this matter with the alleged victim’s attorney, Kelsea Hall. Tibbs also told the press that the woman has no intention of pursuing criminal charges against her estranged husband.
Want To Resolve The Issue Outside Of Court
