Deputy Bellamy responded to a report of a physical altercation at a residence on River Road in Lovely just after midnight. When officers arrived at the scene, the caller stated Maynard had left on foot and was headed towards Collins Creek. Authorities located Maynard and returned him to the residence.

According to the police report, Maynard advised that he and his ex-girlfriend Alisha Moore had argued and that Moore knocked his tooth out with a food can.

Moore had obvious minor injuries—bruising on both sides of her neck, red marks across her face and forehead and a cut behind her ear. Moore stated she and Maynard got into a verbal argument that became physical when he choked her. While he was choking her, he bit her forehead and threatened to “slit her throat.” She stated Maynard slapped her across her face.

Maynard reportedly admitted the two argued and that he threatened Moore but denied making any physical contact other than when she hit him in the mouth with a food can. He said he pushed Moore but denied choking or grabbing her neck.

The property owner stated she saw the man on her security camera. The sheriff found Hayes sitting in his vehicle at the scene. The vehicle was loaded with various tools in the trunk and the back seat. Hayes admitted he was going to keep the tools for his personal use.
