Darnell “Superchef” Ferguson’s Lawyer Denies Burglary and Strangulation Charges
Darnell “Superchef” Ferguson’s lawyer, Krsna Tibbs, has called the burglary and strangulation charges against his client “misleading” and “false.” This comes after allegations that Ferguson threatened to kill his estranged wife, Tatahda Ferguson.
Working Towards a New Balance
Tibbs stated that Darnell and his wife are separated but are working together to find a new balance for their family. He claims that the disagreement on January 2 was reported to the authorities in a misleading and false manner.
Hope for Resolution
Ferguson, who shares eight children with his estranged wife, hopes that these issues will be resolved soon and in a way that is least disruptive to their blended family. Tibbs asks for privacy for Darnell and the entire family so they can heal and continue to work on co-parenting as they move forward with their divorce.
Page Six reached out to Tatahda for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
Allegations of Assault and Theft
These developments come after an unidentified woman claimed that Darnell broke into her home in Louisville, Ky., punched the walls, and strangled her until she lost consciousness. According to her, once she regained consciousness, Darnell tore her pants off and demanded to see her genitals.
The woman feared that he would sexually assault her, but instead, he left the home with her debit and credit cards, as well as her identification. Police noted visible wounds on the woman.
Darnell has been charged with burglary, terroristic threatening, strangulation, assault, menacing, theft-receipt of a stolen credit or debit card, and criminal mischief.
Legal Proceedings and Protection Order
Documents obtained by Page Six reveal that an emergency protection order against Darnell was granted on January 2. He has been released on a $10,000 bond after pleading not guilty to the charges. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 17.
