A 45-year-old man working as a constable in Mobile County was arrested on Wednesday (August 2) after authorities said he struck a woman in the face and wrecked her vehicle so she couldn't escape.

The Mobile County Sheriff's Office was called to State Line Road at approximately 6:45 p.m., in reference to a domestic violence call.

When deputies arrived, they spoke with the female victim at the location. She stated that her boyfriend, Jeffrey Morris, 45, allegedly assaulted her by striking her in the face during an argument.

The woman said afterwards Morris rammed her vehicle by running into it with his own vehicle, when she attempted to flee the area. Once the woman was able to call authorities Morris fled the scene.

The woman told deputies that Morris is currently the constable for the Tanner Williams area. Deputies were able to verify that he is listed as the constable for Precinct 21.

Later in that night, at approximately 9:30 p.m., deputies responded to the parking lot area of Wal-Mart located at Schillingers Road and Moffett Road, in reference to a domestic call.

Deputies said another female victim said while she was driving down the road with her boyfriend, who she also identified as Morris, they got into an argument. THe woman said Morris allegedly grabbed the steering wheel and jerked it.

She said it caused her to hit a curb and damage her vehicle.

The woman said Morris struck her in the face, causing her head to hit the dash of the vehicle. Morris was still on the scene when deputies arrived.

He was taken into custody and charged with third-degree domestic violence (harassment) and third-degree domestic violence (criminal mischief).

Mobile County Jail records show that Morris had previously been arrested for third-degree assault in February 2003. He was later released from jail on his own recognizance.

He was arrested a few years later in November 2009 and charged with driving under the influence. He was released on bond in that case.

The MCSO reported that additional charges are forthcoming in his latest arrest from the incident involving the first female victim.
