On 12 Nov 09 Allison R. Buskirk, age 20, 1235 Coal Run Road, Marietta, reported her boyfriend Garrett P. Rich, age 22, 1225 Coal Run Road, assaulted her as well as her sister Amanda, age 23, and her mother Teresa, age 52. Allison said her boyfriend was intoxicated and asleep on her couch when she awoke him and told him to go home around 5:30 am. The request perturbed Mr. Rich, who replied with insults that angered Amanda. After Amanda slapped him on the arm Mr. Rich flew into a rage, threw her against a wall and shoved her to the floor. Mr. Rich then hit and choked Allison before grabbing her hair and dragging her, pushing Teresa to the side in the process, out the door and to the residence he shares with his mother next door. Inside his residence, Allison stated Mr. Rich pushed her down the basement stairs. Awakened by the commotion, the boyfriend of Mr. Rich’s mother detained him long enough for Allison to escape. When Deputy Sheriffs Simmons and Mankins arrived, Mr. Rich fled into a wooded area behind the residence. Once the Deputies completed their investigation, Mr. Rich returned home and grabbed all of the telephones in the residence. Also taking a kitchen knife, Mr. Rich ordered his mother Bonny Rich, age 47, at knifepoint into the basement and watched her in a mirror as he took a shower. Mr. Rich packed clothing, took a .38 revolver belonging to his mother’s boyfriend Millard Carper, age 63, and departed in his mother’s vehicle, which he took without permission. As a result of the two incidents, Mr. Rich was charged with domestic violence, three counts of assault, abduction and two counts of theft. Mr. Rich was later arrested in Wood County, WV and is being held there pending extradition to Ohio.
