A Clarksville man was one of the first to be accused in a group assault on a couple on Aug. 10 in Lincoln Homes following the release of footage of the attack.

Arrest documents indicate Terry Michael White, 19, is accused of wrapping a belt around his hand and sucker punched Kevin Smith in the face during the assault.

The arrest warrant for White says that 10-15 people were sitting on the vehicle belonging to Smith's wife, Christina. Smith lives in an apartment on Lincoln Drive and asked the group of people to get off the vehicle, the warrant states.

The group ignored her and after a second request, they confronted her "in an aggressive manner" by surrounding her. Kevin Smith then came out of their house and asked Christina Smith to come inside.

After the sucker punch, the warrant says the group jumped on Kevin Smith and began kicking and punching him. Christina Smith came to help, the warrant says, and was pulled into "the melee" and kicked, punched and stomped.

Christina Smith was later seen at Tennova Healthcare, where she was told she had a broken rib, the report said.

White was taken into custody Monday on a separate charge of criminal trespassing. According to that warrant, White was trespassing at Lincoln Homes on Aug. 15 and taken into custody about 9:26 p.m. Monday. Christina Smith identified White as one of the attackers, the warrant says.

White was charged with aggravated assault and criminal trespassing and held on $50,500 bond.

Clarksville Police said Tuesday afternoon that arrest warrants have been secured for two others in the case, Travion Lisenbee, 19, and Marcellus Crawford, 20. Both are from Clarksville.

CPD spokeswoman Natalie Hall said two juveniles also were being charged in the case in juvenile court, one of whom has been served.

Detectives still hope the public can shed light on the case and offer information into others involved.
