A Douglas man faces domestic violence charges after Coffee County deputies responded to a fight in a roadway Thursday afternoon.
Deputies were dispatched around 4:30 p.m. to Aubrey Road in reference to a domestic dispute and observed the female victim and the offender, 28-year-old Cortney J. Young, engaged in a verbal altercation. Deputies separated the two parties, and Young denied that any physical contact had occurred. The victim stated Young had struck her on the face with an open hand, pulled her hair, and ripped her shirt.
Deputies observed physical evidence corroborating the victim’s testimony and obtained photographic documentation of her injuries. Young was arrested at the scene and transported to the Coffee County Jail. He faces one charge of simple battery under the Family Violence Act.
