A Facebook post by his stepdaughter’s boyfriend may have led a Fulton County Sheriff’s deputy’s arrest on three battery charges.
It all started with a loud knock on the door of the College Park apartment where Mark Hunt’s stepdaughter lived with her 22-year-old boyfriend and his older brother, according to a police report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Trulee Price, 20, told police her stepfather, Hunt, 45, was at the door when she opened it in July, the police report states. Hunt, a Fulton County deputy, was with one of Price’s brothers and her cousin when the three walked into the apartment, Price told police.
Using closed fists, the visitors — including Price, Torryean Ingram, and a cousin known as “Junior” — hit Miles Alexander, 22, Mikel Alexander, 28, and another of Price’s brothers, identified as Curtis Johnson, according to police. The three attackers struck the other men “in the face, head and body” before leaving, police said.
Both of the Alexander brothers had minor lacerations and welts on their head and face when officers arrived, but both declined medical treatment.
Hunt allegedly was angered by a Facebook post about him by Miles Alexander.
An arrest warrant was later issued for Hunt. He was booked into the Fulton County jail Wednesday on two counts of battery and one charge of simple battery, all misdemeanors, and was released after posting $5,000 bond, jail records show.
The Fulton County Sheriff's Office has begun an internal investigation, and Hunt remains employed, a spokeswoman for the agency told Channel 2 Action News.
It was not immediately know if Ingram and the cousin also would be charged in the incident.
