On 04-29-2026 at approximately 1058 hours I responded to above location in reference to a physical altercation.

Upon arrival I spoke with above Complainant / Victim who advised that while sitting outside she saw above Offender in her yard and he began running at her. When he reached her he shoved her to the ground, got on top of her, grabbed her throat with his left hand, and began to strike her in the left side of her face with his right hand. Victim further advised that her daughter / above Witness struck Offender in the face to get him to stop attacking Victim. Victim had discoloration on the left side of her face, neck / throat area, and upper chest which through my training and experience are indicators of this type of physical attack.

I then spoke with above witness who stated that Victim saw above Offender in her yard and he began running at her. When he reached her he shoved her to the ground, got on top of her, grabbed her throat with his left hand, and began to strike her in the left side of her face with his right hand. Victim further advised that she struck Offender in the face to get him to stop attacking Victim.

I located Offender at his residence which is located close by victim. Offender was incoherant and unable to give any information and was placed under arrest for above charges and transported to the Brantley County jail where he was turned to the jailers on duty. Warrants will be secured on Offender for above charges. This case is cleared by arrest
