Marcus RutherfordA Hixson man was arrested early Monday morning after a domestic dispute turned violent.
Hamilton County sheriff’s deputies were called to the 7700 block of Gann Road around 1:18 a.m. where they spoke to 32-year-old Marcus Rutherford and a woman who said she was attacked by Rutherford, according to Hamilton County court records.
Rutherford told deputies the woman came to his house to have a discussion.
He said she “attacked him and brutal [sic] beat him while destroying the house,” court records state. He said that, at one point, he had to hide under his bed until she “grabbed him and dragged him through the house, out the front door, and down the front steps.”
Rutherford got away and ran back upstairs where he grabbed a 9 mm pistol and fired one shot into the floor “to scare her off,” he told deputies.
