On 04/19/2025 I, Deputy Kemp, was dispatched to [200 BLOCK] Branch Valley Way in reference to a domestic dispute between a husband and wife. I arrived on scene and spoke with the wife, Nina Lay. Nina stated she was arguing with her husband, [VICTIM #1], about the divorce they are going through and during the argument [VICTIM #1] punched a hole in the door.
Nina led me upstairs so I could speak with her husband. I asked [VICTIM #1] what happened and he stated that there was an argument and during the argument Nina pulled her loaded gun out which is a black Springfield hellcat serial #BY360600, pointed it him, and threatened to kill him. [VICTIM #1] admitted to punching a hole in the door and said he did it after she threatened to kill him.
I asked Nina if she pointed a gun at [VICTIM #1]. Nina admitted to pointing a gun at [VICTIM #1] and threatening to kill him with the gun. Nina showed me the gun that she was holding. I asked Nina why she did that. She stated that [VICTIM #1] was threatening her and threatened to “pulverize” her. I asked Nina if she had recorded anything that [VICTIM #1] was saying to her and she did not. I asked [VICTIM #1] if he threatened Nina and he denied making any threats to her.
Nina stated her husband is a “bi*ch” and does certain things on purpose to irritate her. At this time I determined Nina was the predominate aggressor and I placed Nina under arrest. Deputies informed [VICTIM #1] of domestic violence services and if he wanted how to get a TPO. Due to Nina’s injuries from a past car accident I handcuffed Nina from the front, double locked them, and checked for proper fit. I walked Nina to my patrol car and placed her in the passenger side backseat. I then secured the seatbelt on Nina. I transported Nina to the Paulding County Detention Center and custody was transferred to jail staff. I returned to service.
