24-year-old Robert Ball was involved in a domestic altercation with his wife, Amanda Ball, at the Marathon on Old Hickory Boulevard on April 7th. When officers arrived, they made contact with Amanda, who alleged that Robert assaulted her. Amanda told officers that while traveling on I-24 West, an argument began due to Robert being upset that she has friends. During the dispute, Robert told Amanda that he would kill her and their child in the back seat. Robert proceeded to punch Amanda in the left side of her face. After being struck, Amanda demanded that she and her child be let out of the car. That is when Robert stopped at the gas station. As Amanda gathered her belongings and her child out of the vehicle, Robert punched her in the face again. The incident was witnessed by two bystanders who corroborated Amanda’s statements. Robert fled the scene before officers arrived. Robert Ball was later taken into custody and charged with domestic assault.
