The sheriff’s office said Harris was assaulted that Sunday afternoon in Clarkton by the women while trying to protect a 7-year-old girl. The girl was confirmed to be the kid of Harris’ fiancé, who was said to have left the home to go to a store. Harris was left to watch the 7-year-old and the girl’s younger brother, a news release said.

The release said after the father left, the boy’s mother knocked on the door. The mother was identified as Thomas.
