A physical domestic dispute brought Chattooga County officers to Northern Heights Circle on June 29th. 

 One deputy arrived at the home around 9:30 pm and found several males standing outside. One of the men told the officer that he was the one he was looking for. When the man, later identified as Rick Farmer, was asked why, he replied that he was "the one that got into it with the girl inside." Two more deputies arrived at the home and stayed with Mr. Farmer while the other went to question the woman. 

The woman was identified as Mr. Farmer's sister-in-law. She told the deputy that when she got home, she could smell smoke inside the house, and went to talk to the group of men to tell them to stop, since she has a child with a breathing problem. The woman told them they should stop, and was about to walk back outside when Mr. Farmer said that "no one was going to tell him what he could and could not do." The woman told Mr. Farmer that he needed to leave, and then he allegedly replied that it was his brother's house, and he did not have to leave. Mr. Farmer proceeded to push the woman by the throat, where she retaliated with a punch. Mr. Farmer grabbed the woman by the hair, and pulled some from her head. The deputy took note of a small amount of blood from her scalp.

When Mr. Farmer was asked about what took place, he simply replied that it was "probably what she said." He admitted that the physical altercation occurred, and was placed under arrest for Simple Battery.
