Charleston – A Charleston man, Tyeem Tony Lance, 46, has been arrested following an incident in which he allegedly stabbed a coworker at Fuel Cantina on June 6. The confrontation between Lance and the victim, a 20-year-old male kitchen worker, reportedly occurred around 2:45 p.m. during an argument between the two individuals.
According to police reports, officers responded to the scene after receiving notifications of a stabbing involving two employees. The victim suffered significant injuries to his left arm, just below the elbow, leading to his transport to the Medical University of South Carolina for treatment. Fortunately, his injuries were assessed as non-life-threatening.
Witness statements suggested that after the stabbing took place, the victim made his way out of the restaurant while calling attention to the assault. Witnesses, including customers seated on the back patio, noted that several kitchen staff members, including Lance, fled the scene through a back exit once the altercation escalated.
Initially, the victim was reported to be uncooperative when speaking with authorities on the scene. However, he later identified Lance as the person responsible for his injuries. This identification led to Lance’s arrest on June 18. He now faces charges of second-degree assault and battery and has been booked at the Al Cannon Detention Center, with bond denied.
This incident marks a return to the legal spotlight for Lance, who has a prior conviction for simple assault in Charleston, further complicating his current legal situation. The police have not released additional details about the nature of the argument that led to the stabbing.
Fuel Cantina, the restaurant where the incident occurred, has not commented publicly on the matter, and it remains unclear how this altercation may affect operations moving forward. The restaurant is known for its vibrant atmosphere and popular dining, particularly among locals.
The Charleston community is still processing this event as the investigation continues. Local authorities are encouraging anyone with additional information regarding the incident to come forward.
As the legal proceedings advance, this event raises broader concerns about workplace safety and the potential for conflicts to escalate into violence. The Charleston Police Department has reassured the public that they are taking the matter seriously and are committed to addressing such incidents promptly.
With this ongoing investigation, residents are reminded of the importance of finding peaceful resolutions in conflicts and the resources available for workplace safety. The community’s response will likely play a crucial role in addressing the implications of this unfortunate incident.
