The Farmerville Police Department arrested a man Friday on multiple domestic-related charges.
Officers responded to a domestic disturbance on Rabun Road where a female victim suffered minor injuries when struck by a vehicle. The investigation found Demarius “Buddy” Jenkins, 30, of Farmerville had attempted to strike the woman with a vehicle before crashing into several trash cans and mailboxes.

Jenkins was booked at the Union Parish Detention Center on charges of aggravated assault-domestic abuse, second degree battery-domestic, aggravated criminal damage to property, misdemeanor theft, hit and run driving, domestic abuse battery, and felony criminal damage to property.
