While patrolling the City of Port Wentworth in Chatham Co, Ga I responded to [100 BLOCK] Cantyre Street for a domestic at approximately 22:33. It should be noted that the rear of my patrol car was ed at approximately 18:45.
When I arrived, I spoke with [VICTIM ] who stated that her boyfriend Richard Guay recently put his hands on her, she stated that Richard was extremely intoxicated and that she was at his house at [100 BLOCK] Antrim Street when the incident occurred.
[VICTIM ] stated that she was holding her phone in front of her face and Richard hit the phone out of her hand and it bust her lip. She then told me that Richard choked her and as she was trying to get away from him Richard yanked her back by her hair and then pulled her to the ground.
[VICTIM ] had red marks around her neck and handprints and her arm from Richard grabbing her. The photos were taken by Sgt. Hinely. [VICTIM ] told us that Richard was probably still at his house because of how intoxicated he was.
[VICTIM ] was given a pamphlet and told how and when to access the report. Before leaving [VICTIM ] advised us that Richards aunt lived down the street from him and would let us in if we needed access. We then relocated over to [100 BLOCK] Antrim St to see if we could make with Richard, after repeatedly knocking on the door with no answer his aunt was called to the scene. She unlocked the door and let us in as we entered, we found Richard laying unconscious on the floor in the hallway. After trying to wake him up multiple times EMS was called to the scene Lt. Hemminger did some sternum rubs, Richard gained consciousness and was able to sit up. We then walked him over to sit on the couch where Cpl. Suggs read him Miranda, I then asked him what happened between him and his girlfriend. He was then advised he did not have to answer anything.
Richard stared at me and would not say anything. He was then told to stand up and turn around and place his hands behind his back. Richards was handcuffed to fit, and the cuffs were double-locked. I advised Richard that he was being placed under arrest for aggravated assault. Richard was then walked over to the front of my patrol car where Cpl. Suggs ed him, and he was placed into the back of my patrol car where he was seat belted in.
I then transported Richard to CCDC where he was given his subpoena and advised of his court date. Richard stated at the jail that he had proof of where [VICTIM ] got the marks from on his phone and stated that she got them from the two of them having sex.
Richard was transferred over to jail staff, Nothing further at this time.
