One man was desperate to keep his girlfriend close by and took desperate measures in his attempts.

Mr. Montie Lee Turner had been intoxicated while arguing with his girlfriend late Saturday, June 7th. Early morning June 8th, Chattooga County deputies arrived to the scene where Mr. Turner had jumped on top of his girlfriend's vehicle and tried to remove a spark plug to keep her from driving away. Deputies were told that Mr. Turner suspected his girlfriend of cheating on him after she had tried to leave for work early.

Mr. Turner admitted to officers that he had been drinking tequila and several times said that he was drunk. Mr. Turner appeared very emotional and apologetic for his actions on scene. Mr. Turner's girlfriend returned to the scene while officers were still investigating, and told officers that he had bitten her arm and punched her eye in his rage. Mr. Turner admitted to the biting and said it was only because he was being choked at the time.

Mr. Turner was placed into custody for Battery under the Family Violence Act and taken to the Chattooga County Jail.
