 According to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, Khan was offered the chance to be placed in "voluntary segregation" due to his charges, but he declined. He was placed at Towers Jail in a medium security general population housing where he was assaulted by other inmates on July 2.

 He is being held in jail without bond at this time. A hearing to discuss his bond is set to take place on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.
