An Edinburgh man is facing charges after an alleged domestic violence incident Sunday in Franklin. The Johnson County Sheriff’s Department says that at about 2:30 a.m., deputies were called to the 5800 block of South County Road 700 East. When they arrived, they learned that the suspect, 22-year-old Kody Weber, had fled the scene. Authorities say that a K9 unit found Weber moments later in a doghouse behind the home.

Investigators say that Weber had returned to the home that he shares with his girlfriend when the pair got into an argument. The girlfriend reportedly told deputies that Weber got violent and began breaking things and hitting her. She then texted her sister. The sister told authorities that when she arrived, Weber met her vehicle, forced his way inside and punched her in the head.

Deputies say that Weber strongly smelled of alcohol. He later tested .186 percent BAC on a portable breath test, according to the report.

Weber is facing preliminary charges of Criminal Recklessness, Aggravated Battery with Injury and Battery.
