Sean Travis
ATHENS-Athens Police responded early Friday morning (September 13) to a call for help from the home of Frank and Sharon Travis.
Chief Floyd Johnson said Frank Travis, a member of the Athens City Council, called dispatch around midnight, but the dispatcher had trouble understanding him. The dispatcher sent patrol cars to the Travis home at 119 Edinburgh Drive. The first officer arrived by 12:01 a.m.
Officers found both Frank and Sharon Travis injured outside of the home. Ambulances transported them to Huntsville Hospital.
Johnson said the initial investigation determined the couple sustained injuries during a domestic situation with their son, who hit them with a vehicle. Police charged the son, Sean Travis, 33, of 119 Edinburgh Drive, with two counts of first-degree domestic violence assault. He will be transferred to the Limestone County Jail.
Frank and Sharon Travis are in the surgical intensive care unit at Huntsville Hospital.
“We ask the community to please join us at the city in keeping the Travis family in our thoughts and prayers,” Athens Mayor Ronnie Marks said.
Johnson said the investigation is ongoing and further information is not available.
