A Georgia man faces serious allegations after reportedly losing his temper with the mother of his child over a missing $750, which he accused her of stealing. Authorities claim he made violent threats, including saying he would “crush her skull on the pavement” and “cut her heart out,” all in the presence of their 1-year-old daughter.
The man in question, Hunter Mathis, 22, is said to have issued “multiple threats” against the 23-year-old woman. This reportedly occurred at an Oakwood residence where the couple was present with their child on Saturday, according to an arrest report and a press release obtained by Law&Crime.
According to the Oakwood Police Department, they received a call reporting a domestic violence incident just before 10 p.m. that day. The victim claimed she had been “assaulted by her boyfriend” while she was outside grilling dinner. Mathis allegedly demanded to search her phone to verify “where the $750 she stole was,” as reported by the police.
“An argument ensued, and after some time, Mathis went inside,” the police press release details. “The situation escalated when the victim received a call from her family, prompting Mathis to confront her again, demanding to know who was on the line.”
According to the victim’s statement to the police, after Mathis “finished yelling at her,” he retreated to his “game room,” leaving her momentarily alone. She took the opportunity to start packing her and their daughter’s belongings. However, Mathis called out to her, asking for something to “clean up his beer,” which interrupted her efforts.
“The victim stated that when she went up stairs with a towel Hunter started yelling at her demanding to know where the $750 was at,” the press release alleges. “The victim stated that Hunter had jumped up from his chair and blocked her from leaving the game room by grabbing her left sleeve and shoving her against the wall with his body weight. The victim stated that she pulled her arm away and that’s when Hunter grabbed her by the neck with his right hand and started to choke her.”
The woman told police “she could still breathe a little bit but it was hard,” and she felt like she was starting to lose consciousness.
“Hunter made multiple threats to crush her skull on the pavement and pushed her down, causing her to hit her head on the bathroom door,” the release says. “Hunter told the victim that he would cut her heart out multiple times while at the top of the stairs.”
The mother told cops that Mathis threatened to kill her repeatedly in front of their daughter before police arrived. He was taken into custody on a felony charge of aggravated assault and misdemeanor battery-family violence charge.
Court records do not have any future court dates listed for him yet.
