Laurens Police were dispatched to the 400 block of Fleming Street at 12:43 Friday afternoon following a 911 hang-up call from a residence there. A woman indicated she had been asleep when her boyfriend of three years came back to the residence and told her the toilet was overflowing and water was everywhere. She indicated she didn’t find a towel, but cut the water off and called the landlord to report the problem. Meanwhile, during an argument with her boyfriend he allegedly pushed her into a table which fell to the floor and one of the table legs was broken. He then reportedly grabbed her cell phone and threw it into the wall, causing a hole in the drywall in the kitchen. She reportedly had a knot on her head from the fall. The boyfriend left about the time the landlord arrived to check on the toilet. She alleged he had been drinking. Officer Bolding obtained a warrant. The man was located back at the house at 4:30 yesterday afternoon and arrested. 49-year-old Gary Wayne Vaughn of 415 Fleming Street was charged with Criminal Domestic Violence 2nd Offense, noting a prior conviction from 2010. Vaughn was being held pending a bond hearing today.
