SC Man Charged With MURDER In Little River Bar Stabbing Was Arrested In 2015 On Weapon Charges

Christopher Wayne Turner of North Myrtle Beach, SC., has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after stabbing another man during a fight over a woman at the Little River Bar, according to a police report. It’s not the first time Turner has run afoul with the law.

The Horry County Police report says officers were called to an address on Sea Mountain Highway Wednesday morning at 12:16 a.m. in reference to a stabbing. When officers arrived, they found a man sitting on a bench near the road holding towels against his stomach with “copious amounts of blood coming from the wound.”

TheCount.com has learned, Turner, 28, was arrested in Horry County, September, 1st, 2015, “POINTING AND PRESENTING FIREARMS AT A PERSON UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF PISTOL.”

The current report says the victim told officers that the man who stabbed him, Christopher Wayne Turner, 28, of North Myrtle Beach, followed him to the Swing Bridge Saloon and started an argument, accusing the victim of having contact with Turner’s girlfriend. The argument moved from the bar into the parking lot, where Turner supposedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the abdomen and face.

Turner is charged with attempted murder and was booked into J. Reuben Long Detention Center Wednesday morning.
