JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WJHL) — A Jonesborough man was arrested and charged with aggravated domestic assault after he allegedly pointed a gun at a woman’s head on Saturday.

A news release from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) said Jackie Griffin, 54, was located and taken into custody at a residence in the 100 block of Cloyd Road following the alleged attack.

“According to Sheriff Keith Sexton, the victim advised deputies that Griffin pointed a gun at her head, forced his hand into her mouth and grabbed her jaw, punched her multiple times and tackled her when she tried to escape,” the release states.
