A verbal domestic dispute caused a man to call authorities on Monday, June 16th. 

The dispute was caused by a child custody case that had recently been moved from Chattooga County to Murray County.

The man that had called officers said that his son and his son's girlfriend had been arguing. The son told officers that his girlfriend had locked herself in the bedroom, so he called his parents to prevent the argument from escalating. The girlfriend had allegedly struck her boyfriend in the face, but officers did not see any marks caused by any physical altercation.

The couple was told to separate to their own residences, and everyone involved was advised legal protection regarding child custody issues.
