A Code three alert dispatched Deputy Steven Sweat to the intersection of Ropp Street and Highway 101 in Gray Court at 2:19 Sunday morning. Dispatch reported a 911 open line where a female could be heard screaming. Other calls from the area also reported screams of a female. A further call indicated that the couple in the car were on their way back to their home in Hickory Tavern. Deputies were searching the area between Gray Court and Hickory Tavern when a call came in about a woman at a door on Georgia Road saying she had been abandoned by her husband. The woman was interviewed, then the husband was found and he was also questioned. They told of being at a party when the husband’s X showed up and a dispute began. The man and wife left the party, but an argument continued. After hearing both parties give their version of the events, deputies concluded the wife had assaulted the husband as he was driving and had caused the car to leave the road and run into a ditch. The wife was arrested. 25-year-old Lenora Ashley Hice 241 Hickory Heights, Hickory Tavern was placed in the Johnson Detention Center and charged with Criminal Domestic Violence of a High and Aggravated Nature. The warrant accuses her of striking, scratching and biting her husband and that this caused the car to wreck. A $5,000 surety bond was set yesterday. Mrs. Hice remained in the Johnson Detention Center this morning.
