Police said the couple lived together with three children at 744 Roxholly Walk in Buford until Cory Smith moved out in mid-January of 2015 due to a Family Violence Order. Gwinnett Police twice responded to domestic disputes reported by Annette Smith in January, and the county sheriff’s office also served civil papers twice to the same address, the news release stated.

“Gwinnett County Superior Court records showed that Annette was granted a TPO against Cory on January 22, 2015,” Washington said in the news release. “One of the provisions in that TPO required that both parties have no contact with one another.”

The couple have two children together and one from a separate relationship — ages 7, 9 and 12. The children are staying with the mother’s family. Police said DFACS wlll be involved in the placement of the children.
