Ke'Shaun Witherspoon

53-year-old James Hayes was caught after assaulting his father, William Hayes, on September 1st. When officers arrived, James had locked William’s wife outside. William’s wife and witnesses stated they could see James assaulting William through the window, including throwing him into the wall and dragging him across the floor. This all happened during a domestic-related break-in and an active assault. William’s wife had called the officers, stating that James had forced his way into their home. She stated that James began assaulting William after he told him they had an order of protection against him for a previous incident in August.

Afterward, the officers proceeded to knock on the door and announce themselves. James then came to the door with William’s blood on his shirt and temple. James claimed he lived at the residence, but William denied that, telling officers there was no record of James being tied to the home. Officers then ordered James to exit the house, but he refused to comply with their commands. Officers then attempted to place him in handcuffs. Still, James continued to resist, pulling away and actively struggling against their efforts to restrain him. After he was apprehended, it was discovered that William had severe cuts on his arms, back, and forehead. William informed the officers that he could also not hear out of his left ear. Officers then noticed that there was blood on the walls of the residence.

William’s wife told the officers that before their arrival, James had attempted to wipe the blood off the walls. William then claimed that after he told James about the order of protection, James immediately became violent. William stated James then smashed his head into a brick wall and continued to assault him. William’s wife said that she got James outside and closed the door, but he forced his way inside and continued to assault William. During the assault, William’s wife escaped outside, and James locked her out. James then prevented William from escaping as he continued to attack him. James was then transported and was later charged with resisting arrest, false imprisonment, aggravated assault, and aggravated burglary.
