Update: Paulding Man Severely Beats Blind Woman

Charles Brandon Ayers was just taken into custody by Deputies with the Paulding County Sheriff's Office without incident. He was arrested in western Paulding County and gave up peacefully to Deputies.

Original Report: (Paulding County, GA) The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division and the United States Marshal Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force (SERFTF) are looking for Charles Brandon Ayers (W/M, 37 YOA). Ayers is wanted in connection to a beating that left the victim, Tammy Usher, in very serious condition at a hospital in Cartersville. Usher, who is blind, suffered facial fractures, lacerations, contusions, and severe bruising as a result of the beating.
Usher and Ayers had been lifelong acquaintances up until the beating took place. When they left her Paulding County home on April 26th in the family truck, Usher did not think anything about it. After being gone three days and enduring days of abuse, Ayers finally dropped Usher off at the Loves Truck Stop in Emerson, GA and asked a friend to take her to the hospital because he had warrants. Ayers has not been seen since April 29th, and the truck they were driving is still missing.
As a result of rigorous Detective work, Ayers was charged with Aggravated Battery (F) and Theft by Conversion (F) out of Paulding County. Ayers is also wanted out of Douglas County for Aggravated Assault (F) for allegedly beating another woman.
Ayers could be traveling in the truck he stole from the victim’s family which is described as a Silver 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 bearing Georgia tag RFZ 5853. If you know the whereabouts of Ayers or have any information about this case, please call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-TIPS (8477) or the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Warrants Division at (770) 443-3049.
