STOPOVER, Ky. — A fight over a broken meth pipe ended up sending a Pike County man to jail.

Kentucky State Police was called to a home on Camp Creek Road over a report of a man assaulting a woman. When a state trooper arrived, he found the woman on the front porch with a man later identified as Raymond Johnson, 36, of Stopover, lying next to her.

The woman told the officer Johnson attacked her after she broke the pipe, punching her in the face repeatedly, beating her with a cane and belt, biting and strangling her, and attempting to pull out her tongue. The trooper wrote in his report that the woman had injuries consistent with her claims and said she could barely see through her swollen eyes.

Justice was arrested and charged with felony assault and strangulation.
