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.
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.
Officials transported the couple to Appling County, where the June 22 attack happened. They face aggravated assault charges.
Police say that’s when Latasha Smith punched Norris in the face, breaking her nose. As Norris’ daughter rushed to help her, police say Nathaniel Smith punched the teenager in the face.
U.S. Marshals joined the search for the duo and a $2,000 reward had been offered for their capture.
