Decatur Police arrested Adrian E. Batts on multiple charges after responding to a battery report on April 8. He reportedly broke into his pregnant ex-girlfriend's home, threw their 9-month-old son several feet onto a bed, and repeatedly kicked her in the stomach in an attempt to kill their unborn child.

Batts reportedly kicked in the door at his ex-girlfriend's residence and searched around the house to find his ex-girlfriend, who was hiding in a closet. Once he found her, reports say that he began beating her repeatedly in the head and stomach.

At some point, the victim reportedly got away from him long enough to check on their crying 9-month-old son, but her ex-boyfriend followed. Batts is accused of throwing the baby several feet onto a nearby bed before kicking his ex-girlfriend repeatedly in the stomach. The victim says that Batts didn't want another child and told her that he hoped to kill their unborn child.

Police arrested Batts on charges of home invasion, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery with priors, endangering the life/health of a child, aggravated fleeing/eluding police, aggravated DUI, and felony revoked.

The police report says that the 9-month-old son is unharmed, but does not disclose the condition of the unborn child.
