MOULTRIE, Ga. — This is one mud wrestling match where there were no winners, as one participant in the Wednesday bout went to jail and his girlfriend suffered several injuries.

A Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office deputy dispatched at 12:54 p.m. spoke with Ronald Chris Brinson, who reportedly was vague about the details of the couple’s fight, at his 2855 U.S. Hwy. 319 S., Coolidge, residence. When a second deputy arrived the first remained in the residence where Jennifer Palmer, 33, initially refused to remove a blanket covering her face.

When she allowed the deputy to see her face he noted that she had a swollen and bruised right eye with burst veins and severe bruising to the nose. She initially told police that she had hit herself.

Carol Brinson, Ronald’s mother, told police that the two, who are staying in a makeshift apartment behind the house, got into an argument and Palmer tried to leave.

When Palmer walked down the lane toward the highway, Carol Brinson told police, Ronald Brinson ran after her. She put her 3-year-old grandson in her car and followed, finding Palmer and Brinson rolling in the mud fighting.

While she was able to break up the fight, she reported that Ronald Brinson followed Palmer as she walked home and continued striking her.

Police charged Ronald Brinson, 42, with battery.
