A Watertown couple was arrested earlier this week after a confrontation with an officer during a traffic stop.

28 year old Kyle Robert Johnson is charged with assault; domestic assault; and resisting stop, frisk, halt, search or arrest and 29 year old Tiahra Yesenia Johnson was arrested for public intoxication. Kyle’s bond is $6,500 while bond for Tiahra is $1,500. They will make a court appearance on March 14.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on Sunday, February 24 a deputy was traveling east on Nashville Highway when he spotted a black Nissan SUV driving at a high rate of speed. After the driver locked up his brakes the vehicle slid to a stop. The officer then saw Kyle Johnson open the driver side back door and grab a passenger around the neck before slamming him down in the roadway. Others in the vehicle said Kyle also struck Tiahra in the face with the back of his hand injuring her lip and nose. After being placed under arrest by the deputy, Kyle began kicking while seated in the back of the patrol car and when the officer opened the door to keep him from damaging the vehicle, Kyle tried to get out of the back seat.

Meanwhile, Tiahra was charged after the officer noticed that she had a strong odor of alcohol on her person and that she was unsteady on her feet. Tiahra also became very confrontational with the deputy.

41 year old Amy Lynn Hall of Felts Road, Sparta is charged with being a fugitive from justice. Her bond is $15,000 and her court date is March 14.

Sheriff Ray said that on Sunday, February 24 Hall was at the scene of an accident and while checking her driver license through central dispatch, the officer learned that she has a failure to appear warrant against her in Bartow County, Georgia.
