Cyrus Ahyoung faces 3 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, 3 counts of kidnapping/false imprisonment of an adult and child, battery, and two counts of cruelty toward a child-aggravated child abuse.
He surrendered Monday afternoon at a home on Cat Rock Lane where he lived with his girlfriend and their two children.
