Bond was denied for a Rockmart man facing a felony and misdemeanor charges after a domestic altercation on Saturday, according to Polk County Police reports.

Officers jailed James Terrence Smith, 34, of a Rockmart address, after he was reported to have gotten into an argument with the victim that turned violent on Saturday, January 20, around 2:45 p.m. The victim told police they were hit by Smith, who in turn was hit with a small potted plant to get him to stop.

The victim also told police Smith took their vehicle and purse when he left their residence and took off toward Rome.

Later, the victim reported to police that Smith returned the 2022 Hyundai Elantra he fled the scene in when the altercation took place.

Officers did not immediately report any further information about Smith’s booking at the Polk County Jail that took place on Sunday, January 21. It was noted that previous incidents he was charged with had stipulated bond conditions requiring him to stay away from the victim.

He remained in the Polk County Jail with a felony charge of aggravated stalking, and misdemeanor charges of theft by taking and battery under the family violence act.
