21-year-old Rylan Hopkins was involved in a domestic altercation with his girlfriend, Jayna Williams, at the Baymont Motel on Holiday Drive on March 7th. When officers arrived, they made contact with Williams, who displayed multiple facial injuries while holding her one-year-old baby. Williams informed officers that Hopkins assaulted her after he went through her cell phone. Reportedly, Hopkins became enraged and punched her in the face five times while she was lying on the bed. Williams attempted to call for help by using the phone in the room, but she was unsuccessful. Williams ran to the door to find help, but Hopkins held the door shut and proceeded to strangle her. Ryan Hopkins was unavailable at the scene because he left before law enforcement arrived. Hopkins was later taken into custody and charged with aggravated domestic assault on April 10th.
