JCSO Jefferson incidents continued from 8A
influencing their relationship. He said every
time she spends the day with her family they
end up arguing when she returns.
The next day, at 11:50 a.m. April 30, the two
complained about the other after an argument.
The woman said her husband put his hands on
her. He said there was no physical contact. She
“was just yelling and degrading him all morn
ing.” He said he was on Facebook talking to
another woman “and she went crazy on him."
DISPUTE INVOLVES
BEATING, CHOKING
A father said his daughter came home April
28 and said her boyfriend had hit her. The
daughter said he “has been physical with her
the past four months.”
The daughter had bruises on her neck, right
arm and back.
They argued about her cooking dinner, she
said. She asked for help cooking on April 27.
The boyfriend began breaking items in the
bedroom and knocked multiple holes in the
walls.
She said he told her they needed help with
their child. He then told her to pack her stuff
and get out. If she did not, he said, he would
“beat her like the holes in the wall." He then
said he was sorry and started choking her on
the bed.
She said the next night he came home,
called her a name and began choking her
again. She went to her parents' house and left
her daughter with the parents of her boyfriend.
Deputies went to the house about 10:15
April 28 and checked it.
A deputy took pictures of the “poor living
conditions. There was dog urine and poop all
in the house.”
The woman said the floor “had given out” in
some place and the toilet fell through the floor.
The woman said about three weeks earlier,
her boyfriend shot out the back window in her
vehicle and shot a couple of holes near the
gas cap.
MOTHER, DAUGHTER
REPORT EACH OTHER
A mother and daughter on Maley Road
made complaints about the other May 3 and 4.
Three calls were made to the sheriff’s office
in the two days.
First, the daughter said her mother was not
treating her grandmother right.
The mother said she is the caretaker for her
mother and everything is fine.
Then the mother called about her daughter
stealing medication from her bathroom. She
said it was a prescription bottle for Xanax and
had 52 x h pills. It cost $30.
Finally, in a separate call, the mother said
her daughter has posted personal information

ments on Facebook to harass her.
The daughter was issued a criminal trespass
warning and told not to return.
