Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock jailed on domestic violence charge

Montgomery Advertiser - 1/16/2022

Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock was behind bars Sunday after being arrested on a domestic violence charge in Orange Beach.

Baldwin County jail records show Hammock was booked in just before 11 a.m. Sunday morning on a charge of "domestic violence strangulation." He was being held with no bond.

He was arrested by the Orange Beach Police Department. No further information about the incident was immediately available.

Hammock won his second term as mayor of Tallassee in 2020 about two weeks after he was charged with misdemeanor harassment in a road rage case. That case was later dismissed when a grand jury failed to return an indictment. Hammock later called that situation a "misunderstanding."
