Loudon couple fights over dead kitten
 
A Loudon couple is facing domestic assault charges after law enforcement arrived Monday and learned the two fought over a dead kitten.
 
Responding to a disturbance on Spring Street, Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Thomas Spradlin found Bethany Sims “crying hysterically.” Bethany and husband Jarred Sims got into an argument over him accidentally killing her kitten, she said. Both agreed the argument never got physical, and both were intoxicated.
 
After determining they had no place to go for the night and that there was no fear of physical harm, Spradlin left the residence. A few hours later Spradlin was called back.
 
“Mr. Sims stated this time the argument turned into a physical altercation, but he did not know when he got hit,” Spradlin wrote in the report. “I did observe several scratch marks on his neck, arms and on his upper back. I asked Mr. Sims if his wife caused him physical harm and he stated no. Mr. Sims stated further that it was all his fault.”
 
Another deputy saw Bethany Sims walking down the road and transported her back to the scene. Bethany said she started the altercation and that she didn’t want Jarred to go to jail. She did have a swollen upper lip. Both parties were arrested after they said they initiated the argument and a primary aggressor could not be determined.
 
Bethany Marie Sims, 24, and Jarred Philp Sims, 25, Loudon, were each charged with domestic assault-misdemeanor and released on $1,000 bond.
