6/17/14 - A New York man arrested after attacking his girlfriend in a Howell hotel has been sentenced. 31-year-old Michael Joseph Turner was sentenced last week 43 months to 15 years in prison following his guilty plea to charges of unlawful imprisonment, assault by strangulation and criminal sexual conduct with intent to commit contact. Turner was arrested by Howell Police December 12th after they were called to the Kensington Inn for reports of a woman banging on doors and shouting for help. Officers say they found the woman badly injured, and learned that she was visiting from New York with her boyfriend. She claims that earlier that night he accused her of cheating on him, which she denied. Police say the argument led to a domestic incident, and that Turner choked the woman, threw her against a mirror, struck her repeatedly, and forced himself on her. Police say they found Turner visiting friends at another nearby hotel and arrested him. (JK)
