A 31-year-old man facing charges of domestic assault, aggravated domestic assault, interference with 911 calls and violation of bond conditions has had his case bound to the Grand Jury.
Charles T. Nunley waived his preliminary hearing last week and his case will go to the Grand Jury on Sept. 8. He is facing charges after reportedly threatening to kill his girlfriend and assaulting her. According to the warrant, on July 18, deputies were responding to a physical domestic on Harrison Ferry Road. The victim reportedly stated Nunley assaulted her.
According to the victim, she and Nunley had been arguing earlier and she told him to leave the residence. The victim alleged that Nunley punched her several times on both sides of her head and pulled her hair. Nunley also reportedly took a box cutter and put it to the victim’s throat.
According the warrant, the victim states, “she got away from Nunley and (he) came at her with a plastic bag. She thought he was going to put it over her head.” The victim then reportedly kicked at Nunley and scratched his face. The victim attempted to call 911, but Nunley reportedly took her cell phone from her, but the emergency slide was on and 911 was contacted. According to the victim, Nunley stated he was going to kill her. The victim was transported by ambulance to Ascension Saint Thomas River Park Hospital to be treated for her injuries.
Prior to this incident, Nunley was charged with domestic assault. According to the warrant, on July 4, Deputy Brayden Carter was dispatched to Harrison Ferry Road on a verbal abuse call. Once Carter arrived on the scene, he spoke with the same victim who reportedly stated her boyfriend, Nunley, sent her text messages stating “I’m gonna kill you when I catch you” and a threatening audio text.
According to the warrant, when the victim got home she said she was arguing with Nunley and he threw a bottle of peroxide at her and pushed her into a door frame. Nunley reportedly left the residence and was stopped by deputies at a traffic stop. He was charged with domestic assault.
His case will be heard by the Grand Jury on Sept. 8.
