29-year-old Courtney Vandame Hall had a domestic incident with his girlfriend, Tiera Ligon, at his Stonewater Drive residence in the early hours of August 16th, 2023. At around 3:17 p.m., officers were working an extra job at Tristar Summit Hospital when they spoke with Ligon, who advised that she and Hall argued after he accused her of having shoes someone else bought for her. Ligon stated Hall made remarks about their relationship, telling her she needed him. To which Ligon replied, “She could have married someone better off if she wanted to be in it for the money.” Ligon said after this, Hall punched her in the face, leaving a visible laceration to her left eyebrow that required stitches. Officers determined there was probable cause to have an arrest warrant issued for Hall.
On April 7th, 2024, a third-party caller alerted the authorities, stating her daughter, Tiera Ligon, was being hit by her husband, Courtney Vandame Hall, at his home on Stonewater Drive. Before officers arrived, they discovered Hall had an outstanding domestic-related warrant for the previously mentioned August 2023 incident. When officers arrived, they located, detained, and Mirandized Hall, under which he waived his rights. Hall then told officers that Ligon went through his phone and found messages between him and another woman, who he said was a friend, informing him about a close friend’s death. He stated Ligon started accusing him of cheating and started yelling in his face, so he “body-checked” her, causing her to fall in the kitchen. Then, Hall advised officers that she tried to “attack” him, so he pushed her again, during which she tried to bite him. Officers noticed he had some skin peeling on his stomach, consistent with a scratch.
Officers then spoke with Ligon, who stated she found out Hall was having an affair, so she confronted him with recordings of him telling another woman he loved her. She said that he then rushed her, demanding she unlock her phone so he could delete the evidence she had. Ligon then refused, which was when Hall started attacking her. A struggle ensued over her phone, where Hall took the phone and threw her down by the bed, by her TV, and then back by the bed. During this, Ligon added, Hall kicked her three times in the face, leaving her with a busted lip and bruising. Officers observed blood on her clothing and deemed him as the primary aggressor. Hall was taken into custody for two counts of domestic assault.
