State Rep. David Hawk, R-5th, of Greeneville, was charged with domestic assault Sunday morning following an altercation with his wife at the couple's home here, sheriff's Deputy Brandon Ricker said in a report Sunday afternoon.

According to the report, Hawk's wife told deputies that her husband struck her in the face with his hand, knocking her to the ground.

Rep. Hawk, 43, a five-term member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, is being held in the Greene County Detention Center pending a first scheduled appearance Monday morning in Greene County General Sessions Court.

Because of the nature of the charge, no bond was set, the report said. It is common for no bond to be set in cases involving domestic assault until the accused has made an initial appearance before a judge.

Hawk's wife is Crystal Goan Hawk, also 43, a Greeneville attorney and the current president of the Greene County Republican Women.
