On 09-17-2026 at approximately 1134 hrs. I responded to above location in reference t a physical domestic problem. While en route dispatch advised Above Aggressor had left the scene on foot.
Upon arriving I spoke with above victim who advised that Aggressor had arrived at her residence the previous night and was pounding on her door screaming for her to let him inside of her residence. After waking up she and Aggressor had argued and he became irate and slammed her through her coffee table back first causing visible marks on her left forearm and right middle side of her back. Aggressor then burned her left lower leg with an unknown object causing visible burn marks. Victim was transported to Wayne Memorial Hospital by Brantley EMS squad 2.
Aggressor was located at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Cole Ridge Rd. Aggressor advised that he had done nothing. He was placed under arrest and transported to the Brantley County Jail and turned over to the Jail staff on duty. Warrants will be secured on Aggressor for above charges. This case is cleared by arrest.
