A night of partying in Peachtree City and an alleged sexual assault have led to criminal charges against a Fayette man.

Brandon Lee Nix, 21, of Quarters Road just east of Peachtree City, was implicated by a Peachtree City man who told police Nix was kicked out of his home early Saturday morning after he was seen sexually assaulting a 24-year-old woman who had either passed out or was very drunk, police said.

The resident said that after kicking Nix out of the home on Hamilton Road he went outside to speak with Nix, and that was when Nix pointed a .45-cal. handgun at him, police said. The resident said that at first the gun had a lock on it, but Nix unlocked it and then pointed it at the resident a second time, police said.

Nix then drove away from the residence, and police issued a radio alert on his vehicle, said Capt. Rosanna Dove. The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office pulled Nix over on Ga. Highway 54 near Piedmont Fayette Hospital and Peachtree City officers took him into custody there, Dove said.

Prior to the alleged sexual assault, Nix and others were having drinks at the Red Room bar before they headed to the resident’s home on Hamilton Road, police said. Once they arrived at the home, the drinking continued, she added.

Police were summoned to the Hamilton Road residence at 4:30 a.m.

What can we as citizens do to drive this place out of business? I've got some time on my hands to help do it.

Dang wedge you stold my line.

The sad thing is people from out of town read these stories and the other crime reports when they are looking for a nice community to move too. I'm not picking on the paper for reporting all of this, it's just a shame that these stories keep increasing here, courtesy of low class people.

I just got a great idea for our next Blogger's "Spiked" coffee. Bring side arms and bullet proof vests. I'll bring the penicillin Laughing out loud

I make my drinks strong, but the ingredients are all legal. Very funny.

Just cuz you bought one of THESE doesn't make your "ingredients" legal. Hmmmm... no wonder you try to keep such close tabs on our deputies.

You made it back from Fiji? How were those huts over the water? Jane knows the true deal....another "buisness trip". MMMhummm,...

Man I don't know what you are talking about. The way our deputies stalk me in my red car, you would think I have one of those under the hood. Good to have you back. Maybe later in chat.

Not only do you drink and serve it.... you burn it in that little red convertible. No wonder our lawdawgs have a hard time catching up to you.

I'll be the old guy with long hair driving a worn out old '73 Vette listening to the Doors on the radio. Why the penicillin? If we bring the side arms with vests it's far too late for those not with us.

As long as our next "coffee" is not at the red-rum-room, I'm in.

Kind of scary.

I do have to buy a few more guns before the end of the year.

Don't know if I'll make a coffee/meth meeting at the Red Room, but we will be starting Trivia night at Latitude next Tues. @ 7:00. Cy, you could still wear leather but you'll have to answer all questions with "Yes, Mistress...".Laughing out loud

I'm guessing there are some strays in that place that could seriously use an adoption..... and flea dip Laughing out loud. I haven't given into the curiosity and gone, but you gotta admit that it's probably crossed your mind; like taking the "dare" in truth or dare. "I dare you to spend fifteen minutes in the Red Room!"

I'll stand down right now.....

What do I owe you?? I'm not going in there.

I was thinking about riding my bike to the next one if the weather was nice. Now, maybe not.

Now just you'll be careful about criticizing the local no account losers (as Waylon used to say) and boozers.

The lady in red and others of a different ilk hang there with them what don't work and look to others for sustenance. But always enough dough for high-priced, or bummed, booze. Women don't pay much cash there. Has beens do get some attention though.
Ignorance is rampant.

How is it coming---the plan---to station a couple of cops inside and outside the place? Not, you say? Why?

Who would want such a high-class place to run?
Do our alkies need it?

I hope you had a great T-day with family and friends.

All jokes aside the red room really just is the "theory of evolution" working for us. Let them party on. No cops needed.! We have to cut the budget.

The "classy" red-druggie-room is a great place to hang ....
