News Herald Arrest report

Man attempts wreck to kill self, woman
 
An Oak Ridge man was charged with domestic violence after a heated dispute July 1 with a woman.
 
Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Robbie Lane was dispatched to meet a woman at an elementary school off Highway 11 in reference to a domestic dispute. Dispatch advised that “it was a rolling domestic and the male had struck the female in the face while she was driving,” according to Lane’s report.
 
After arriving on the scene, Lane observed a woman with red marks on her face and an “old black left eye.” She said Cory Ray Cheatham, 31, who had been a passenger in the vehicle, had been drinking all day and became upset when asked to leave his brother’s house.
 
“Mr. Cheatham began to yell and scream at her,” Lane wrote in a report. “Mr. Cheatham tried to jump out of the car several times as they were driving.”
 
The woman had called the non-emergency number and was on the phone with dispatch. Cheatham then grabbed her by the face and grabbed the wheel and “tried to cause them to be in an accident,” Lane wrote. The woman said Cheatham “told her he would just kill them both.”
 
She managed to pull the car into a church parking lot off Highway 11, and Cheatham fled from the car. Cheatham later returned to the parking lot and was placed under arrest.
 
Cheatham was charged with domestic violence and held on $2,500 bond.
