The county commissioner in Hart County, Georgia, and his son were arrested Saturday night for allegedly violently assaulting a family member. James Ricky Carter, 64, and his son Jake Carter, 34, drove to the relative’s house around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, deputies said. Jake allegedly then beat his 61-year-old family member in front of the victim’s grandchildren. The duo have since been charged with terroristic threats, aggravated battery and assault, firearm possession, pointing a gun at a person, and third-degree cruelty to children, the sheriff said. The deputies claim that the wounded grandfather was hospitalized and is in serious condition.
