A man who beat his live-in girlfriend for two days will spend a year in jail for domestic assault.The abuser, Clinton Jerome Maples, 40, was ordered by General Sessions Judge Larry Ross to serve an 11-month, 29-day sentence on the charge of domestic assault. The 11-29 sentence is the longest that can be given in General Sessions court since the crime of domestic assault is a misdemeanor.His sentence comes after police were called to his Crain Street home where they learned of the two days of assaults on the woman.“She had a swollen and bruised right eye that she stated Mr. Maples caused when he struck her with his fist,” said McMinnville police investigator Todd Rowland.Rowland went on to say the swollen eye was from an assault which happened just before lawmen arrived. A prior injury was also noted on the woman.“The other injuries that occurred prior to today were a large bruise on her right forehead where she stated he had struck her with a flashlight,” Rowland said in taking the domestic violence charge.
