TOLEDO, Ohio — A Toledo man was indicted Wednesday for attempted murder for allegedly assaulting a person in north Toledo last week, causing severe injuries.
Juleon Carter, 21, was indicted on one count of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault.
According to police, they responded to an assault call around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 21 at a residence on Walnut Street in north Toledo. When officers arrived they found a victim unresponsive.
The victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition. According to a police affidavit, Carter stomped on the victim's head several times, fracturing their skull. Police said following the incident that the victim had not been identified due to the severity of their injuries.
In a police report, officers said they found Carter sitting on the curb in the 800 block of Walnut Street. Police said Carter told them that his girlfriend offered the victim $1,000 if he would beat Carter up. Carter claimed the victim attempted to assault him and he in turn assaulted the victim.
Police arrested Carter and transported him to Lucas County Jail without incident, according to the report.
The police report said Carter told officers his nine-month-old child was left alone inside the residence. After several attempts to verify this information, officers forced their way into the residence but did not find a child inside.
Carter was arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court on Nov. 21 and his bond was set at $75,000.
