Wiregrass family faces 40 assault charges
Five Wiregrass family members face a total of 40 felony assault charges in connection to what authorities have called an attack at the Gordon boat landing on the Chattahoochee River.
Each of the five people face charges that they used a golf club to assault eight different people on Aug. 30.
Court records show Houston County Sheriff’s investigators filed an additional 25 felony warrants Wednesday, on top of the 15 which were already filed. Deputies arrested three sisters and two of their husbands in connection to the assaults.
Records say deputies charged the following people each with five additional felony counts of second-degree assault: Nicklus Edwin Green, 34, and his wife, Dusty Renee Long Green, 32, Gregory Todd Gordon, 42, and his wife, Tracey Long Gordon, 35, and Emily Michelle Erin Jarrard, 39, of Weeks Street, Ashford. They were each taken to the Houston County Jail and held on a $75,000 bond.
Investigators have described the incident as an ambush at the boat landing as several people attempted to leave the river. Investigators have also said the charges stemmed from a domestic-related dispute that began on a sandbar on the river. No one was seriously injured.
Denny Holloway, who represents Nicklus and Dusty Green, said the charges his clients face were a continuation of an incident on the river where some people had attacked his clients.
“I think it was a free for all, everybody was fighting everybody,” Holloway said. “The alleged victims instigated the fight down the river, and there was alcohol involved. The defendants came back to the river with a woman to get and check on her children, who were there with her ex-husband for the day. That’s when the fight ensued.”
Holloway said his client, Nicklus Green, suffered injuries during the fight, including two black eyes, along with a strained leg. He said his clients have not filed any charges against the other people involved.
“It seems like one side just got to the authorities first,” Holloway said.

And we wonder why the children become violent and end up in jail. I wonder how many people in prison grew up in similar families. We all need to get involved through churches, civic organizations, charities, boys and girls clubs,and more to help the children by revealing another way of life. We can show them compassion, help them with school, take them to church, and give them love. Children are innocent and often victims of the crimes or behavior of their parents. They don’t know anything else other than the life they have. Pray and get involved.
I tend to believe yall dont know seems she is honest, make that brutally honest in her comments on a few sleeping around issues that were brought up. That being said I see why I’ve been seeing golf bags in boats on the Chattahoochee.
yall dont know, I hope you’re charging for all that “sleeping.“ Might earn some money to fix those buck teeth of yours.
bmoc, no you’re not the only one that gets a good laugh out of whats said in these comments . I cant help but laugh at these folks , i stopped posting to the article a few days ago because i couldnt stop laughing long enough to type.I’ve never seen so many adults that act like 9 yr olds .
I been considering checking into what it would cost to rent the civic center and promoting a match between these clans. I really believe it would be profitable !! lol
I can’t help but laugh every time I read a post by yall don’t know. Am I the only one?

Give it a rest, people.
Go taint the air somewhere else. The more you misspell, or attempt to text like your kids, the lame attempts at swearing, the more you look like you need bibs to keep the drool in check.
“ i jest knews my Billy-Ray-bubba-jean-leroy-McRedneck is an upstanding citizen despite being barrrrrrrd frum like al the barz in 6 countys and those 8 arrests for vy-o-lints….“
so damn sick of it.
as for who is and ain’t (great, this is making me speak hillbilly) a fatty, Who gives a rat’s rear?
As far as you are all concerned, i wouldn’t want to see you much less be around you. probably get so much clap off of you that they’d have to rename it “Standing Ovation”.
(get one of your cross-eyed P.A.S.S. Academy dropouts to try and explain that joke to you.)
In other words, this is, you are, nastier than nasty; to each other, to yourselves acting this way and to us for dirtying this web site.
Justforlife It seems you don’t know what you are talking about! The children were right there when your clan decided to start your SH**. They ran for the bushes but before that your hubby, Nic played with his gun. It will all come out this Friday the 22nd in court. Don’t worry I will be glad to see you and the others put under the jail. If you had any cout about you you would have waited another day when the kids were not there.But you and your crew have no respect for anyone. How would you feel if someone pointed a gun at your child?? Maybe you will find out!! You need to grow up and act your ages and go to school to learn to spell and show respect to others.
