UPDATE:

A story posted on GreeneStreets on August 12 follows this update.

When Jeffery Allen Hutcherson, 34, Linton, appeared at his initial hearing, a not-guilty plea was entered and a public defender was appointed to represent him.

But there was another earlier case still pending against him. In that case, he was charged with domestic battery, a Class A misdemeanor, as a result of an incident that occurred on February 21 when he was arrested with bond set at $1,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed. He posted $100 and was released from jail.

Following the latest incident, a petition to revoke his bond was filed in the earlier case and a warrant issued for his arrest.

Hutcherson was taken into custody by Officer Adam King of the Linton Police Department on Wednesday, August 19, and held without bond.

The court has since entered an order revoking his bond and Hutcherson remains in jail to await the conclusion of both of his pending cases.

Lyons man accused of battery

A man has been summoned into court after a woman said he punched her in the face during an altercation when she was hanging out with friends on the White River near Worthington late last May.

Jeffery A. Hutcherson, 34, of Lyons or Linton, is scheduled to appear in Greene Superior Court for an initial hearing at 8:30 in the morning, Thursday, August 12. A summons was issued in early July.

Hutcherson is facing a preliminary charge of battery resulting in bodily injury, a Class A misdemeanor, as a result of an investigation by Deputy Sgt. Bobby Pierce of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department into an incident that occurred in late May.

On Tuesday, May 26, a woman contacted law enforcement to report that she had been battered. She said she and a couple of female friends were hanging out that day on the White River near Worthington when one of the friends got into a “lover’s quarrel” with a boyfriend, Jeffery Hutcherson.

According to the woman, Hutcherson was shoving her friend around and the woman stepped in and told Hutcherson not to hit her friend. Hutcherson allegedly then struck the woman in the face and knocked her to the ground.

The woman admitted that when she got back up, she hit Hutcherson as hard as she could, busting his eyebrow and causing him to bleed. He allegedly then threatened her with a fishing bow.

Sgt. Pierce reported the woman had redness, bruising and swelling to her face, a red scratch on the back of her neck, a bruise on her right arm, bruising to her right leg and an abrasion to the top of her hand and wrist.

Sgt. Pierce said he tried to contact Hutcherson at his residence in Linton but was unable to make contact.

According to Sgt. Pierce’s report, Hutcherson’s residence was in Linton, but court records show Hutcherson with a home address in Lyons.
