WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WV (LOOTPRESS) — A Greenbrier County man was arrested Wednesday night after allegedly striking his mother during a domestic dispute, according to the Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies A.B. Davis and C. Van Dyke responded to a 911 open-line call around October 8, 2025, at a home on Fifth Street in White Sulphur Springs.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with Hayden Workman, who told deputies he had been arguing with his mother, but claimed nothing physical had occurred. Deputies noted that Hayden smelled strongly of alcohol, and he admitted to drinking ten cans of beer.
Moments later, another man arrived and confirmed that an argument had taken place between Hayden and his mother. When deputies spoke with the mother, she reported that her son had struck her in the face and arm during the altercation.
Deputy Davis observed a visible mark below her left eye, consistent with her account. When confronted, Hayden admitted to hitting his mother but claimed it was an accident, saying he struck her while holding a dog.
Based on the victim’s statement, the suspect’s admission, and visible injuries, deputies placed Hayden Workman under arrest for domestic battery.
The mother was advised of her right to seek a Domestic Violence Protective Order (DVP) but declined to do so at that time.
Hayden was transported to the Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Office in Lewisburg for processing and later taken to the Southern Regional Jail in Beaver.
