An Oxford man faces jail time after an alleged assault on the mother of his children.
The incident allegedly occurred Friday night at around 7:30 at the residence of 43-year-old Gerrod Martin. He reportedly attempted to stop the woman and their kids from leaving the home. Martin is accused of blocking the woman in with a car, then grabbing the steering wheel while she was driving.
The woman was injured during the incident as Martin held onto the steering wheel while she was driving. He also reportedly yelled at the kids to get out of the vehicle. The woman told police that she was hit in the face during the incident, and had a cut on her hand.
Martin was charged with Domestic Abuse Assault, False Imprisonment and two counts of Child Endangerment. He could be sentenced to over five years in prison if convicted.
