42-year-old Derrick Hughes was involved in a domestic dispute with his girlfriend at Abby Creek Drive on February 1st. The altercation stemmed from Hughes’ girlfriend finding a receipt to a hotel room. When she confronted Hughes, he got upset and hit her in the chest. She provided law enforcement with an audio recording of the argument between herself and Hughes. In the recording, officers heard both of them arguing, and then there was what sounded like a scuffle between them. Shortly after the scuffle, officers heard Hughes’ girlfriend yell, “Don’t put your hands on me!” When officers contacted Hughes about the incident, he said nothing happened, and there was no argument. Derrick Hughes was taken into custody and charged with domestic assault.
