A Chattooga County man tried to convince sheriff’s deputies that a woman he is alleged to have assaulted hit herself causing injuries to her face.  Sheriff’s deputies were summoned to a Walnut Street address in Summerville in relation to a domestic incident on Friday of last week in which thirty-six year old Lloyd Grasser claimed that a woman that lived at the same address had hit him with a box that contained his tattoo gun. 

Grasser met deputies outside the residence when they arrived and told them that he and the woman had been arguing and that she hit him with the box causing him injuries.  The deputy that responded noticed blood on Grasser’s clothing and hands.  When the deputy went inside the house he saw that the woman had injuries to her face.  The woman told deputies that Grasser had hit her in the face with his fist. 

The deputy called Redmond EMS and the woman was transported to the hospital in Rome because of the injuries to her face.  Grasser was booked into the Chattooga County jail. 

The argument between Grasser and the woman is said to have started over a card game.’
