15 assault charges filed in Gordon river attack
» 28 Comments | Post a Comment

Houston County Sheriff’s investigators arrested three more people on charges that they used golf clubs to assault several others at a Gordon boat landing near the Chattahoochee River on Sunday night.

There have been three named victims in the felony warrants filed at the Houston County Courthouse, but Investigator Anthony Hatcher said there could be as many as nine victims from the assault, with possibly more coming forward. He said several people were attacked as they were coming out of the river.

“It was kind of like an ambush, they were just loading up their boats trying to leave ...,” Hatcher said.

So far, 15 felony assault warrants have been filed in connection to the attack at the river. He said five people - three sisters and two of their husbands - were arrested.

On Tuesday, Hatcher charged husband and wife, Gregory Todd Gordon, 42, and Tracey Long Gordon, 35, both of Peach Farm Road, Ashford, and Emily Michelle Erin Jarrard, 39, of Weeks Street, Ashford.

On Monday, Hatcher arrested another pair, Dusty Renee Long Green, 32, and Nicklus Edwin Green, 34, in connection to the assault.

All five people are charged with using a golf club to assault three different people at the boat landing. They each face three felony counts of second-degree assault.

They were all released from the Houston County Jail shortly after their arrests when they posted a $45,000 bond. If convicted, the Greens face one to 10 years in prison for each of the class C felony charges.

The investigation is ongoing with more charges likely to be filed.

Capt. Antonio Gonzalez said the dispute started on a sandbar on the river, then turned violent at the Gordon boat landing. Gonzalez called the incident a “major family and friend dispute that turned into an assault.”

I can’t help but wonder what 16 year old Tyler Gordon is talking about.  Judging from his post he surely can’t be refering to himself.  Mature…I don’t think so.  As far as the rest of this bunch and their supporters, i’m reminded of a William Shakespeare quote, “I think he (they) doth protest too much…“

ok pitbull_34 its seems so weird to me how a sixteen year old can act more mature than a grownup. you obviously have know clue what you are talking bout. and just to let you know this is tyler gordon and first of all my dad (todd) has never abused us and ok my aunts nor parents are on drugs ok…. ANd if you are brave enough to mention your name then go ahead. and how dare you bring what happened with my brothers up. thats none of your concern or business and they did not plead guilty to that in fact they were found NOT GUILTY so goes to show just how much you just think you know k!!!!!! so when you feel brave enough to mention your name go ahead other wise just sit behind your computer and shut the f*** up!!!!! and there is no way you have known us for 18 years cause somone so judgemental and rude and just hypocritical as you we would not associate with ok!!! so just go ahead and just keep quiet bout how you think you know what you know when you dont know sh**.. ok and as far as them being alcoholics yes they may drink butt heck who dont??>> so like i said before whe you wanna be brave enough to mention your name go ahead!!!!!

I’m sure Nick went to jail.. He visit the ER and was released. The broken ankle or feet was more likely when he tried to be Mr BadA$$ and kicked in Brian’s Hummer door… Looks like Nick got his a$$ beat for his wife talking trash and getting into other “MARRIED” couples business on the sandbar.. AND that is more likely why they came back with their gang and golf clubs. If I’m wrong please tell me “JUST WHY THEY CAME BACK.“

To bad Nick didnt get more than what he did! He does have one thing in his favor like the rest of the accused there all COWARDS.

Well I’m not here to take sides but countyrgirl33 needs to check his/her facts before making statements. Nick spent the night in the hospital with a broken ankle, broken nose, some kind of head injury that required stitches, and lots of burses.

Okay I have to agree with golfersRlosers. No matter if the victims did have a Good Buddy on the Sheriff’s Dept or not, Cops and investigators dont make arrest on hear say or friendships. When they see 3 people seriously injured in 1 group and nobody injured in the other group then it is obvious what happened. From my understanding of this, The altercation started on a sandbar and then 1 group left and went home and gathered all their family up including their older children and went back down to the boatlanding with Golf Clubs and not to leave out a Gun that was shot a few times & rodeogirl32 you say that the victims had paddle oars and an exhaust pipe, well you know I would have grabbed anything in reach if I was ambushed by a whole family of Buffalos with golf clubs. Also I hope ALL the ones involved that came back down there knowing there were children down there get put UNDER the JAIL. Another thing, The 3 that lost their jobs @ the Nuclear Plant KNEW that was going to happen when they left their house that afternoon and went back or did they actually think that they were going to go down there & beat the crap out of these folks & shoot a gun & never be caught? Come on I know they ain’t that stupid but then again i’m not so sure. I guess if one of them would have hit 1 of the children that was down there and him or her was hurt really bad or even killed that it would still be said that there was 2 sides of the story and we need to hear both sides before judging… The Bottom line of this is Whatever the altercation was at the sandbar should have been dropped when the group left the sandbar, they should have never went home and got their WHOLE FAMILY and come back to the landing. If they would not have did that then they would not be in the trouble they are in and they would still have their jobs and would not have the possibility of loosing there children. Again to rodeogirl32 if you dont think the paper tells both sides of the story very clear why dont you let us readers know yours and your family side of it, since it looks like to me you were one of the ones that were aressted for your actions. I wonder if someone would have gotten killed down there how the 5 SUPPOSEDLY innocent people that were arrested so far would be feeling today knowing that they came back down there after leaving and ambushed these adults and children while they were trying to leave the river. Wonder if they would still be feeling like they did NO WRONG & trying to use the excuse that the victims has a GOOD BUDDY at the Sheriff Dept. Maybe before they go getting STUPID again they need to find them a GOOD BUDDY in law enforcment, since they think that is the reason they are in so much trouble. This is for UneverKnow, Guess Nick put on a very good front for the people out at Farley, or maybe it is that he has hung around his In-Laws a little TOO Long and they have rubbed off on him. Guess Dusty will have to see how much her looks will help her now in Jail… Or maybe they will help her get a job on the street since she want ever be back at Farley or any other Nuclear Plant where she had a good job…

The big question I have is why Nick is involved with this? The last thing I heard was that he and Dusty got divorced a few years ago. I have had a few run-ins with them over the years and Nick seamed like such a nice guy, there’s no way I believe that he done all of these things also. People at Farley talk very high of him and I believe he is or was a volunteer Fireman. Now Dusty and the rest of those fools it’s very believable. Dusty has always used her looks to get everything. I heard she gets mad and shows her but all the time. Now she is about to learn how the real world works.

This is for Dusty aka RodeoGirl32.. You must be high or something. The cops have evidence. They do not make arrest on hear-say. All in time you will look like the big idiot!! You have always acted in this manner & it just finally caught up with you. The only person I feel sorry for is your kid. So what do you tell a child when they ask did Mommy and Daddy go to jail? Now what are you going to do without no job.. Go back to being poor like before? Looking forward to court date…. And the sad thing about all of this is that YOU knew there was kids down there and that YOU AND YOUR FAMILY endangered them by going down there and that if yall dont go to jail for anything else but that, that is enough to be put you in jail! God knows the truth and he will punish you!!
