A woman brutally beaten by a man under the influence of “spice,” a legal alternative to marijuana, remains in critical condition after the attack. Amber Fields, 20, of Swainsboro, suffered broken facial bones, a fractured skull, shattered nose and other complications after reportedly being beaten in the head and face by 23-year-old Thomas Jason Browning at his Brannen Road home earlier this month. Browning told investigators he and Fields had been smoking spice and were having reactions to the drug, but when deputies arrived at the scene, they discovered Fields has been violently attacked and beaten about the head.
