CLEVELAND, Ga. — White County Sheriff’s Office deputies have charged Kylan Chase Dean, 23, of Cleveland with aggravated assault and battery following a domestic violence incident at his father’s home at 6030 Duncan Bridge Road.

According to the arrest report, Dean and his pregnant girlfriend, Jordan Rae Whitten, were living in his father’s home when an argument ensued and Dean allegedly grabbed Whitten by her throat and squeezed, causing her to choke and not be able to breathe. Whitten told deputies Dean let go and shoved her by her chest over the couch and when she landed, she was unable to move for several moments.

Whitten stated that she was in shock, and a lot of pain but was able to regain control of her body and run to the bathroom. She said Dean gave pursuit and began to hit the door of the bathroom that she was barricaded behind and every time he hit the door her head bounced off of it, causing a large knot on her head.

After the incident, Dean went to sleep on the sofa. When his father Jason Dean and Eva Ryder arrived on the scene, Jason and his son got into an altercation. Eva Ryder called 9-1-1 and Dean fled the scene.

Deputy Daniel Spivey was en route to the scene when he spotted the suspect headed south on Duncan Bridge Road with blood all over his face. Spivey drew his taser and commanded Dean to stop and put his hands in the air. Deputy Nathan Allen arrived and Dean was placed in handcuffs.

Dean told deputies when his father arrived and saw that Whitten was hurt, he attacked him and slammed him to the floor causing the cuts to his face. Dean was transported to the White County Detention Center and placed on a statement of charge. Bond was set at $15,000.
