Spalding County, GA: Husband arrested in wife's death in Griffin

SPALDING COUNTY, GA (CBS ATLANTA) -
The Spalding County Sheriff's Office said a Griffin woman died following a domestic violence incident.

Jeff McCullough, 53, was arrested when officers responded to the home July 20. Officers said there was enough evidence to arrest him for Battery under the Family Violence Act.

An ambulance was called to the house two days later. Friends said they were concerned about Debra McCullough because she had passed out.

The sheriff's office said doctors determined Debra McCullough had a severe head injury. She never regained consciousness and died.

The medical examiner has performed an autopsy, but investigators are waiting for medical records before pursuing additional charges.
