An Athens woman was recently hospitalized with a severe head injury after she was assaulted with a shovel.

The incident happened on the night of September 9th when Judy Gresham was smoking crack and drinking at the home of Ricky Jernigan.

She told the police that when her host tried to have sex she tried to leave but Jernigan followed her out the door and struck her in the back of her head with the shovel.

A witness called 911 to report that “a woman was in the middle of Fairview Street with a head wound that was bleeding, and that the woman’s head was split to the white meat.”‘according to the police report.

Gresham was transported by ambulance to the hospital and Jernigan was arrested at the scene for aggravated assault.

Jernigan is being held without bail pending a bond hearing that’s scheduled for October 1st.

Really? Did she honestly expect someone of said character to be a gentleman? A crackhead is a crackhead, comprende? And how come she wasn't charged with drug charges? I'm not condoning this man's violence whatsoever. However, there are 2 sides to every story and we can't solve problems by just reporting or relying on 1 side.

Black men account for roughly 6% of the USA population. They commit over 50% of the murders in the USA.


Roughly 50–55% of known U.S. homicide offenders are Black (across all ages and genders), which has held steady in FBI data from 2013–2023.
