Shopping, diniing ends in fight

MOULTRIE — After spending most of the day together, including dining and shopping, a man and woman ended up in a fight that sparked allegations of beating, biting and hair pulling, the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office said.

Traci Kirkland, 100 block Cook Road, reported Thursday that William Randall Clifton, of the 500 block of Cook Road, grabbed her by the hair and hit her in the face several times during the 10 p.m. incident. She reported that he pushed her to the bed and put a pillow over her face.

Clifton told the officer that Kirkland bit him three times. He reported that he pushed her and held his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming, but that that occurred after she attacked him.

Both agreed that the incident was sparked over his cellular telephone.

Kirkland had cuts around her right eye and on her upper lip and her left arm was bruised, sheriff’s reports said. No arrests were made in the incident.

In another incident Tony Harris, 500 block Bonnie Tuk Road, reported Thursday that he hit a man who came to his residence and began using vulgar language and threatening him when Harris refused to loan him money.

Carroll Ray Fender, 600 block Bonnie Tuk Road, told the officer that he went to Harris’ residence about a boat and that Harris attacked him without provocation.

Several witnesses supported Harris’ account, sheriff’s reports said.

  • CORRECTION: DUI charge

    In a Jan. 28 report, The Observer said Ronald Craig Bass, 50, 4411 Dunn Road, Hartsfield, was charged Jan. 26 with driving under the influence, open container violation and probation violation in connection with a minor wreck on Camilla Highway. Excluding the probation violation charge, that information came from a Moultrie police report of a November 2001 incident.
    Bass was charged with probation violation Thursday because all the penalties from the 2001 incident had not been paid. He paid the remaining penalties following his arrest, according to a Moultrie police report.
    The Observer regrets the error.
