Grovetown Police are looking for a man accused of assaulting his former girlfriend in front of her children late Saturday night.
The incident was reported May 6 just after 11:00 p.m. at the victim’s home on Beretta Drive in Grovetown.

Mathis is 5’10” and weighs 150 pounds. He was last seen leaving the area in a black 1999 Dodge Durango with the Georgia tag SBY9158.
