Man jailed after girlfriend sent to hospital with 'severe' injuries
|
A Decatur man remained in city jail today after being charged with two felonies in connection with a domestic-violence incident that left his girlfriend in the hospital with severe injuries, Decatur police said.
Christopher Collier, 35, of 3104 Main St. S.W. is charged with second-degree domestic violence and domestic violence by strangulation or suffocation. He was awaiting transfer to Morgan County Jail with no bail amount set, police said.
On Friday, police responded to a call at the Nite Fall Motel at 2611 U.S. 31 S., where Collier and his 30-year-old girlfriend, whom police did not identify, had been living since Aug. 6, police said.
According to police, Collier and his girlfriend had been drinking when an argument ensued, during which Collier struck his girlfriend twice in the head with an empty glass liquor bottle, causing the bottle to shatter and causing several minor cuts to her head and face. Collier beat his girlfriend severely and bit her numerous times, causing significant injuries, police said. Then, Collier pinned his girlfriend to the ground and choked her until she lost consciousness.
When police arrived, they initially charged Collier with third-degree domestic violence and resisting arrest.
The woman was transported to Parkway Hospital and transferred to Huntsville Hospital. She suffered, among other injuries, a fractured eye socket and a broken nose and is expected to undergo reconstructive surgery, police said.

A Decatur "man"....I believe that word was used incorrectly here.
Worthless POS is more like it !
POS IS CORRECT AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS POS UP AGAINST A MAN PREFERABLY ONE WITH A TIRE IRON ---JUST TO TEACH HIM HOW IT FEELS. I WOULD HOPE IF HE HAS ANY MALE FRIENDS THAT THE P[OLICE WILL HAVE TO BE CALLED TO RESCUE AND ALL ,I CAN SAY IF SHE HAS A BROTHER HE BEST BE LOOKIN OVER HIS SHOULDER
Tough guy . . . real real tough guy. What he needs is an ole fashion prison education.
This is your butthole o this is your butthole in prison (O)
Takes a real man to beat a woman, doesn't it? Hit her with a empty glass liquor bottle? Heck, she was probably out before she hit the ground and this "man" and I use the term very loosely: had to continue to beat, bite and choke her!!! I will never understand why people have to beat one another up and from looking at his picture, you can bet she never had a chance! HE BIT HER? What in the world did he think he was? A MAD DOG CHEWING ON A BONE? I sure hope the court system sees him exactly for what he is; a poor excuse for a human being and lock him up and throw away the dang key!!!!!!
Take this animal to the closest veterinarian and put him to sleep.Case closed!
one nice quick bullet thru the head makes things much more palatable. he is not worth the price of the bullet though. This town has been taken over by this kind of trash as Decatur stands by and watches
You know, we put down dogs for less. Put this animal down and save everyone any more misery. What a worthless oxygen thief. Unfortunately, you and I will end up paying MILLIONS for this twit's 'defense' (he doesn't deserve any) and upkeep (he doesn't deserve any). In the end, some fool of a judge will put it back on the street to maim again. It won't be done until it kills somebody. Kill it before it breeds!
