A Georgia teenager was jailed without bond after the authorities accused him of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend during a domestic dispute that allegedly escalated into multiple violent confrontations.

According to investigators, the incident began after the couple argued at the woman’s residence on April 11. During the dispute, the man allegedly took the woman’s phone, which led to another confrontation outside the home. The authorities said the woman, who was five months pregnant, then allegedly tried several times to strike him with her vehicle while he was walking away from the property.

A witness identified as the woman’s sister reportedly told investigators that the woman attempted to hit the man with the car multiple times before he pulled her out of the vehicle and took her keys. The authorities said he then entered the residence and temporarily prevented her from going back inside.
