CRIME BLURBS

Deputies responded to a home on Little Road after a domestic dispute turned violent.

Jamal Gray, 40, was charged with one count of aggravated battery. The victim said that Gray initially became upset when “she questioned Gray about him being faithful in their relationship,” according to the incident report.

The victim added that Gray eventually “grabbed her by the neck and began strangling her.” Gray then is accused of not allowing the victim to leave the house and “hitting her in the face.”

The victim later checked herself into the hospital, and photos of her injuries were entered into evidence.

Aggravated battery is a step up from aggravated assault and reserved for when “a person maliciously causes bodily harm by depriving another person of a body part, rendering a body part useless, or seriously disfiguring the body of a member thereof.”
