Bradley County Sherriff’s deputies responded to a home on Geren Drive in reference to a domestic assault on December 23rd according to court documents.

 

Upon arrival, deputies could hear verbal arguing in progress. Deputies were unsuccessful in getting anyone to answer the door of the home. Deputies were able to speak with Michael Bohannon, 53, through an open window. Bohannon told deputies he would not come outside the home. A female inside the residence seemed to be very upset and in distress.

 

After making several attempts to get Mr. Bohannon to exit the residence, the victim was finally able to exit out of a side door to safety and was transported by EMS to Tennova for medical treatment.

 

The victim told authorities that she was sleeping inside the residence when Mr. Bohannon pulled her out of her bed and stated he was going to kill her.  According to the affidavit, Mr. Bohannon wrapped his arm around her neck and tried to choke her before dragging her down the hallway by her hair, slamming her head on the floor, and then hitting her in the face.

 

The victim also stated that after deputies arrived on the scene and began communicating with Bohannon through the window, he went over to his rifle case to get a gun. The victim was then able to run out of the garage door. Bohannon has been charged with Especially Aggravated Kidnapping, Aggravated Domestic Assault, and Interfering With an Emergency Call. Michael Bohannon is being held without bond.
