Man charged after threatening woman
A Colbert man was arrested recently after he allegedly held a machete to a woman’s throat and threatened to “chop her head off.”
Willie Lee Smith, 64, 1140 Buddy Moore Road, was arrested on one count of aggravated assault. Officers were summoned to the home when the woman called 911 and a man’s voice could be heard telling her to hang up before the line went dead.
According to the incident report, Deputy David Kidd found the woman, who told him she has lived with Smith for the past eight years, sitting in a chair in the front room of the house. The woman said Smith had been drinking for three days and that they had argued that day because he was mad at her for “messing up a pot of rice and for not changing out the cricket box and the minnow water.” She said Smith choked her and then held the machete to her throat and threatened her. Deputy Kidd noticed a bleeding cut to the woman’s neck just below her jaw line. She told the deputy that Smith had went out the back door. A second officer found Smith in a wooded area behind the home, where he was arrested.
The victim reportedly stated repeatedly that she is afraid of Smith and fears that he will kill her as soon as he gets out of jail. Deputy Kidd explained that she would be notified before Smith is released.
Others arrested by the sheriff’s office included:
•Richard Murphy Swan, 37, 491 Paoli Road, Carlton, was charged with false imprisonment and battery FVA after his girlfriend met an officer at a Danielsville restaurant to report that Swan had kept her in their home against her will for three days, not allowing her to call 911 for help. She said the whole thing started when he picked her up because her vehicle had a flat tire. She told the officer that she was finally able to get Swan to take her to her niece’s home that morning and that she then went to a doctor to get her injuries (a black right eye with a cut above it) documented.
•Andrew Gage Benton, 24, 415 Benton Road, Carlton, was charged with illegal possession of a controlled substance, removing or affixing license plate with intent to conceal or misrepresent, operating a vehicle with suspended registration, no proof of insurance, tag light required and two counts of possession of a firearm or knife during certain crimes, after an officer initiated a traffic stop on Watson Mill Road at the entrance to the park.

While officers were en route, the pair allegedly left the roof and ran into the wood line behind the store. Peeples was found hiding in shrubbery behind a residence on Glenn Carrie Road. A controlled substance (narcotic) was found in a pocket of her jeans. A witness at the store identified her as the woman on the roof. The witness also stated Peeples’ companion on the roof was a former employee of the store. He had not been located at the time of the report.
