Ashely Suzanne Griffith, Kincannon's wife, told police that when her husband grabbed her to keep her from leaving the car, she hit him in the arm multiple times.

Kincannon was not charged at the time, and later told the Charleston City Paper that he had taken the wrong dosage of Benzonatate, a cough medicine.
