Man: ‘That Crazy Woman Beat Me With a Shovel’

Woman says man hit her with walking cane first.

A Buford woman told police she was tired of her husband calling her mother names. That name-calling, she said, led to an Oct. 16 in which both she and her husband were arrested.

Police were called to the Buford Dam Road home by the wife. When initially interviewed by police, the woman said her husband was “making her crazy with his drinking,” but that the argument had not been physical in nature.

However, police noticed the husband, identified as James Brown, had blood on his shirt, face and hand.
