SCPD claimed Chark was involved in a domestic violence situation and had his hands around the victim's throat. A 14-year-old in the home witnessed the assault, and police said, in an attempt to stop the violence, they grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed Chark.
The Woodbury County Attorney's Office determined the 14-year-old was justified in doing so because they were trying to stop the domestic violence situation. No files have been, or will be, charged, they said.
