A man and woman were arrested Tuesday night after a scuffle at their Bonnett Road, Portal residence, according to Bulloch County Sheriff’s incident reports.
Bulloch County Sheriff’s Chief Investigator Todd Hutchens said Myrtis Grace Hagins, 23, Bonnett Road, Portal, was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a knife during the commission of a crime after stabbing her boyfriend, Adwin Rulett Stewart, 28, of the same address. Stewart was charged with battery (family violence) for his involvement in the affray.
A domestic disturbance began earlier Tuesday, but Stewart left for a while, Hutchens said. Then, he returned, and the fight flared back up.
At this time, Hagins grabbed a knife and “cut (Stewart) in two or three places,” Hutchens said. “Then she threw bleach in his face.”
The bleach did not get into Stewart’s eyes, but he suffered stabbing cuts to his forearm and rear bicep, plus a scratch to his side. He required stitches for some of t he wounds, he said.
Deputies responded to the scene around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday after another party called for help, according to reports.
Cpl. Noel Brown and Deputy Julie Taylor responded, and the case was turned over to Sheriff’s Inv. Jared Akins upon his arrival.
Both Hagins and Stewart were arrested at the scene, taken to the Bulloch County Jail and booked in on their respective charges, Hutchens said.
Hagins was given a $4,000 bond, while Stewart was given a $1,000 bond, he said.
