A City of Summerville employee has been terminated following an arrest stemming from a domestic altercation at his home in the Armuchee community three weeks ago. Christopher Larry Tuggle, 48, was dismissed from his position by Summerville City Manager Jason Winters due to a violation of city policy. According to Floyd County law enforcement reports, Tuggle and Keri Ann Mullins, 29, were both arrested at their residence on Warren Road on April 25th, after a verbal dispute escalated into a physical confrontation. Police reports indicate that Mullins sustained a bruise on her lip and a bump on the back of her head, while Tuggle suffered cuts to his cheek, neck, and left hand. Both individuals were charged with battery. City Manager Winters cited Tuggle’s arrest as a clear violation of city policy, leading to the decision to terminate his employment. Tuggle has retained Summerville Attorney Steve Miller to represent him in appealing the termination decision.
