A man, arrested for criminal domestic violence, is held down by his girlfriend's children, that's according to a report from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to the home on Mabry Road in Roebuck, Sunday morning. A woman told authorities that her live-in boyfriend Jamie Earnhart pushed her while she was holding her baby, then hit her in the the face, while he continued to yell at her.
The woman stated that when her children heard what was going on, they started to fight Earnhart. The suspect admitted to hitting the victim, and told deputies that he was trying to leave when the children blocked him from leaving the home before deputies arrived.
Mr. Earnhart was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center for treatment from injuries sustained from the children fighting with him at the home. Mr. Earnhart was charged with criminal domestic violence and then transported to Spartanburg County Detention Facility.
Deputies say Mr. Earnhart has a prior conviction for criminal domestic violence.
