Fight over dogs leads to arrests

A man pulled a gun on another man during a fight over dogs and ended up in jail, the White County Sheriff’s Office says.

Authorities arrested 39-year-old Hubert Coleman of Brunswick on April 12 following the altercation. They also took into custody Coleman’s girlfriend, 38-year-old Ayala Anastaisa of Atlanta.

According to Captain Clay Hammond, deputies were dispatched to a report of an armed robbery at 463 Tommy Cowart Road. At the scene, they learned there was a physical altercation between two men who knew each other and had prior arrangements involving dogs that were located at the residence.

“During the fight, it was reported that one of the parties involved produced a firearm and threatened the others,” says Hammond.

Shortly after the incident, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on the suspects’ vehicle in Hall County. The suspects were taken into custody, and the dogs were recovered, says Hammond.

Deputies charged Coleman and Anastaisa with aggravated assault.

Online jail records show Coleman was released from jail on a $15,000 bond. Anastaisa was released on a $10,000 bond and remanded to the custody of Gwinnett County where they had a hold placed on her.
