FINDLAY - Displaying little emotion, the decorated Iraq war veteran stood before Judge Robert Fry in Findlay Municipal Court yesterday and agreed to be returned to central Ohio's Licking County to face charges that he killed his 3-year-old stepson.
Corey S. Flugga, 22, of Newark, Ohio, and formerly of Findlay, is charged with murder in the death Saturday of Carson Hanson at the apartment Mr. Flugga shared with his stepson; his wife, Heather, and the couple's 1-year-old son, Hunter. An autopsy concluded Carson died from blunt-force trauma to the abdomen.
snip: He said Mr. Flugga served in the Army but retired after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in a Humvee accident in Iraq.
snip: An Army Web site identified Mr. Flugga as one of 91 "heroes" invited to attend the Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio in January. Mr. Flugga, who was listed as a member of the 1st Infantry Division, based in Fort Hood, Texas, received a Purple Heart, according to his profile on the Web site.
