Charges Placed In Domestic Altercation

   An arrest resulted Thursday when law enforcement officers were asked to intervene in a domestic altercation during which a woman claimed she had been struck in the head with a cell phone.

   The victim, age 41, requested assistance from deputies with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department shortly after 2:00 p.m. They made their way to the Countrywood Drive home where they met with the victim.

She told them that she and her husband had been involved in an argument and that she was trying to get the cell phone to place a 911 call. She said that they scuffled over the phone, but that she was able to place the call.

Afterwards, she said her husband took the phone from her and threw it, striking her in the head.

   As a result of the investigation Patrick Ray Dent, age 48, was arrested on a count of aggravated domestic assault. He was transported for incarceration at the Lawrence County Detention Center.
