Charles Wyatt
(Seguin) — A Cibolo man reportedly stabbed himself Thursday in a Guadalupe County Courtroom. Guadalupe County officials say Charles Wyatt, 60, stabbed himself in the neck immediately after being sentenced to 12 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice – Institutional Division (TDCJ-ID) for multiple offenses, including continuous sexual abuse of a child, multiple counts of possession of child pornography, and invasive visual recordings.
The incident occurred in Courtroom 201 at the Guadalupe County Justice Center just after sentencing.
Officials say Wyatt was not yet in custody as an inmate at the time. They say the self-inflicted injuries took place prior to bailiffs taking him into custody.
Reports indicate Wyatt used a knife fashioned from plastic or another non-metallic material, to stab himself several times in the neck.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) transported Wyatt to Guadalupe Valley Regional Hospital. He was subsequently airlifted to University Hospital in San Antonio. Officials say Wyatt survived the initial injuries, though his current medical status remains unknown.
