Hull man charged after allegedly striking daughters
A Hull man was arrested recently after officer Gary Floyd was summoned to a domestic dispute at the man’s home.
Jesse Smith, 38, 497 Jones Matthews Road, was charged with a parole violation, two counts of cruelty to children in the first degree and two counts of battery.
According to the incident report, Floyd met with a juvenile female with fight marks on her left cheek and an abrasion on her left eye. The girl said her father (Smith) had punched her in the face after he woke her up to “cook him something.” She said at some point they began to argue and she brought up that he had struck her little sister on the previous evening. He then struck her on the face with a closed fist. Floyd then spoke with the younger sister who said that she and her sister had argued the day before and that their father had come into their bedroom and grabbed her by the back of her hair and slammed her head into the dresser, knocking her to the floor. She also had abrasions to her forehead and a cut mark on her nose. DFCS was summoned; pictures were taken of the girls’ injuries and they were placed with relatives.
In another incident, a man’s truck was taken in a bizarre incident involving a Danielsville car lot.
According to the victim, he stopped by Twin Pines Auto Sales to look at a truck. While there, he met with a man who told him he was the owner of the car lot. The victim allegedly told the man he had a truck he might want to trade. The alleged owner told the victim he might be interested in trading, so he took him to his father’s house where the truck was. Once there, the man asked the victim if he could drive the truck. When he didn’t return, the victim went looking for his truck, but didn’t find it at the car lot. He then called the person listed on a card the man had given him and that man told him the man he had met at the car lot did not work there, but that he lived on Grady Lane.
The victim then drove to Grady Lane, where he found his truck parked behind an old shed. Officer Michael Moore was summoned to the scene where the imposter also told him that he “sold cars” for the car lot. Moore got the car lot owner on the phone, who repeated that the man did not work for him. The man then said he “didn’t work for them, but sold cars for them.” When asked why he brought the victim’s car back to his yard, he then replied that he had a car lot in his yard. Moore told him he did not have lot in his yard, but the man insisted that he did, and that he had a sign. He then showed Moore a sign under some trash in his shed. The man then agreed to have a tow company come and pick up the truck to return it to its rightful owner. The car lot owner wrote out a statement about the incident, which was placed in the case file. The imposter was not arrested.
