On Friday, July 18th, a family's physical dispute called Chattooga County officers to a home on Highway 114. 

The father in the family was able to talk to officers once they arrived to his home around 10:00 pm. 

His son had arrived home and began drinking whiskey. The family began discussing the son's lack of a state of Georgia driver's license. The son became angry and started to yell and throw things. The father told him to stop, but the mother became mad at her husband and said that he could not talk to her son "that way." The father told both the son and mother that they should leave.

The son and mother did begin to leave, and more arguing continued. The son ran back into the house, pushed his father against a freezer in a back room, and began choking him with both hands. The father eventually broke loose of his son's grip and retrieved a baseball bat from a different room. Before he used it, the mother picked up a broom and hit him in the shoulder. 

The father said that after he was hit, he handed the bat to his wife and called 911. The father said that as he was calling, his son and wife left and went to his sister-in-law's home in Alabama. 

No arrests were made according to the report.
