BAXLEY, Ga. — A couple accused of attacking a woman and her teenage daughter at a Baxley, Georgia, food stand two weeks ago surrendered to police early Wednesday, police confirmed.
The Baxley Police Department confirmed Nathaniel Eric Smith and Latasha M. Smith turned themselves in to the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials transported the couple to Appling County, where the June 22 attack happened. They face aggravated assault charges.
According to police, the couple assaulted Qwik Chick food stand owner Jeanette Norris and her 15-year-old daughter after the Smiths complained about the portion size and temperature of their order. Norris refunded the couple their money and told the irate customers she had called police.
