Crockett, age 28, 1560 Pleasant Ridge Road, Marietta, assaulting his live-in girlfriend Samantha Lemon, age 23, and when he attempted to intervene, Mr. Crockett grabbed a metal cooking pan and struck him several times in the back of the head. Arriving to assist, Detective Mark Johnson was familiar with Mr. Crockett and knew where he was staying. The officers arrived at Mr. Crockett’s address and after further interviewing, arrested Mr. Crockett for felonious assault and transported him to the Washington County Jail. Robinson was transported to Marietta Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released.

During the course of his investigation Deputy Parks also learned of the possibility of an abduction subsequent to the domestic dispute and felonious assault.
