A man from southeast Kansas now faces attempted murder charges after a stabbing earlier this month.
23-year-old Nathaniel Adrian Turner, of rural Columbus, also faces two counts of aggravated child endangerment and criminal property damage.
24-year-old Gracee Faye Pritchett, also of rural Columbus, faces two counts of aggravated endangerment of a child, domestic battery, and possession of hallucinogenic drugs.
Both Turner and Pritchett are being held without bond in the Cherokee County jail pending formal charges.
