One fight, resulting in an assault charge, left a male victim with minor injuries at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital's emergency room early yesterday morning. The full report will not be completed until today, according to a news release from Lt. Anthony Fish.
A female victim reported a known female suspect assaulted her in front of the Maplewood Inn and Drive Thru that same morning. Athens police are still investigating the incident, according to the media release.
