Police gave this account:
A man had invited his ex-girlfriend to his residence to rekindle their relationship. While she was there, the man “snapped” and began hitting her. The woman ran to an nearby residence with the man behind her. She began beating on the door, and as the resident opened it, the man began stabbing her in the back of the head with an unknown object.
Police found a puncture wound at the base of her skull, but the wound was said to be superficial by members of American Medical Response.
The man fled on foot, and the incident was charged as battery.
Man says he stole from machines
A former employee of Five Star Food Service said he took $1,440.32 from the company’s vending machines across LaGrange in August and September.
Because there was no damage to the vending machines, officers felt the thief was using a key.
Police said the man was identified as the person responsible for a Franklin theft after he posed as a Five Star employee and night security officers let him in a location.
At the Franklin Police Department, the man said he committed the Franklin theft and the six thefts in LaGrange: Holiday Inn Express, Valley Ridge Apartments, Cameron Crossing apartments, Jameson Inn, LaGrange Toyota and Striffler-Hamby Mortuary.
Charges are pending.

Officers told the two it was a civil matter.
