Thomas Weeks III, husband of Juanita Bynum, turned himself into authorities and spent six hours inside the Fulton County Jail before coming out after being released at 1:40 p.m. He made a signal of holding a finger to his lips that he had to comment as he walked away.

Weeks was released on $30,000 bond on the charge of aggravated assault and $10,000 on the charge of terroristic threats. Weeks was also instructed by the magistrate to make no contact with Bynum or her sister Tina Culpepper. Weeks was handcuffed as he sat at the hearing.

The next hearing for Weeks will be September 7 in Fulton County Superior Court.

Weeks, speaking through one of his lawyers said he would attempt to reconcile with his wife and continue his ministry after the allegations were taken care of.

"He is extremely sad over the events that have taken place," said Edward Garland, one of the two attorneys representing Weeks. "I think there is hope on his part that the relationship can get past these difficult moments.

"He has never had any accusation of any sort like this from her or anyone else. There are a lot of circumstances surrounding these events that will be explained at a later time. He is turning it over to the court system at this point."

Bynam's sister Tina Culpepper said she's helping her sister through this difficult time. "She is resting well and healing of all the injuries," Culpepper said. "The injuries are not just physical."
