Strange things happen after midnight at convenience stores. Such was the case on March 23, 2025, when, at around 12:20 a.m., two individuals allegedly got into a fight at the Circle K on the south end of town.
According to a report from the Douglas Police Department, an officer on patrol was riding past the store when he noticed a male and a female in a fight. The officer stopped and spoke with the male, who said that his ex-girlfriend, identified as Ashanti Lockhart, 22, of Douglas, came up to him and “started fighting him,” the report says. The report says that the officer asked the male if he had ever hit her and he replied that he had not.
The male stated that during the fight, Lockhart had broken his $1,300 necklace and his iPhone 15. As a result, Lockhart was arrested and charged with battery (family violence) and criminal damage to property. She was transported to the Coffee County Jail and later released.
