Dahlonega man charged with simple battery

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 30-year-old Ian Vickery of Dahlonega on Sept. 9 and charged him with simple battery following an incident at 244 Jasmine Cove in Dahlonega.

Deputies responded to a 9-1-1 call in reference to a domestic dispute. When they arrived, Vickery’s wife Brittany said she and her husband had been arguing all day and that he accused her of cheating on him. She said he took her phone from her and when she took it back, he slapped it out of her hand and shoved her. As she attempted to retrieve it, she said he shoved her again and she fell into the shower stall.

Brittany advised that her husband had been taking medication for cancer and that she didn’t want him to be arrested. She further stated he had a scan scheduled for noon the next day. The arresting deputy checked with his supervisor who stated Vickery would be released in time for his appointment.

He was then transported to the Lumpkin County Detention Center.
