Kingsport man assaults woman for drugs

A Kingsport man is facing charges of assaulting after an incident at a local business.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Deputy Brandon Pesterfield responded Dec. 17 for a domestic disturbance at the business.

The manager on duty said she witnessed a woman come into the store and go to the restroom. The manager said Judson Aaron Eremity, 36, walked into the store asking where the woman was. She said Eremity asked several times where the woman had gone, so the manager went into the restroom and found the woman.

The woman said she was scared of Eremity because he had threatened to hurt her.

The woman told Pesterfield that she and the man were driving from Knoxville when they began arguing.

“She stated the offender accused her of having drugs inside of her body and she told him she did not,” Pesterfield wrote in a report. “She stated the offender told her if she did not give him drugs he would hurt her.”

The woman said they parked on the left side of the store building and she attempted to leave the vehicle, but Eremity grabbed her by her hair and wrapped his arm around her neck and choked her.

“The victim stated the offender stopped when she told him she was about to use the bathroom on herself,” Pesterfield wrote in a report.

The woman then went into the store where she told an employee that she did not want to leave with the man and she was scared for her life. The woman had multiple lacerations on her face and a swollen nose, all of which she said were caused by Eremity, who fled the scene on foot after officers arrived.

Eremity was charged with aggravated assault and held on $20,000 bond.
