Kingsport Police Department
Nov. 11
Police responded to a report of an assault at an East Stone Drive restaurant. The alleged victim stated he was eating with a woman — whom he shares a child with — when her husband entered. The husband allegedly pushed the other man over a table, then went outside and slashed a tire on his vehicle. When the alleged victim attempted to get the woman's husband to stay at the restaurant until police arrived, he allegedly accelerated his vehicle and swerved at the man — forcing him to jump out of the way to avoid being struck. The suspect was later located and arrested by Kingsport police, charged with aggravated assault and vandalism.
