A Richmond County Deputy has been arrested and charged with domestic battery. According to information provided by our news partner WJBF, law enforcement responded to the block of 2300 Springhouse Lane on Tuesday night.
David Wilburn, 23, was arrested and charged with domestic battery. He was assigned to the the Charles B. Webster Detention Center and was a Jailor. The victim provided a statement to law enforcement. She stated that Wilburn accused her of cheating and then hit her in the face and caused a cut above her left eye. An infant child was also present during the incident.
This comes just before the start of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. According to the NCTSN, “An average of 20 people are physically abused by intimate partners every minute. This equates to more than 10 million abuse victims annually. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been physically abused by an intimate partner, and 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men have been severely physically abused by an intimate partner. Millions of Americans live in daily, silent fear within their own homes.”
The NCTSN is funded by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and jointly coordinated by UCLA and Duke University
