Couple argue over postal visit
Responding to a call of a
possible domestic dispute in the
2300 block of Grubb Road, LCSO
Deputy B.J. Lewis talked with
Jacob Wesley Hicks, who said he
and a woman had gotten into an
argument that turned physical
after the woman hit him on the
side of the head.
Lewis noted he did not see marks
on Hicks, and then talked with
the woman. Lewis learned Hicks
became upset with the woman
because she did not ask
permission for his family to
take her to the post office.
“(The woman) advised Mr. Hicks
is still upset over a past fling
she had with his brother,” Lewis
wrote in his report. “(The
woman) stated that while he was
confronting her about his
brother coming to take her to
the post office, Mr. Hicks
became even more upset and
slapped her on the left side of
the face, leaving a red mark on
her face. (The woman) also
advised that Mr. Hicks had
kicked her right after slapping
her.”
The woman did say she had a
relationship with Hicks’ brother
a couple years ago but did not
know he would be the one to take
her to the post office. She said
Hicks uses methamphetamine,
according to the report. Hicks
did admit to using meth.
