According to a deposition made public online Wednesday, investigators found Brannon's body wrapped in plastic with her wrists and ankles bound. When they spoke with Sexton, Brannon was at his home and the two became involved in a physical altercation.

Sexton said Brannon sustained an injury to her head that was bleeding badly. "The defendant gave multiple stories about how the victim's head was injured," the deposition reads.
He told detectives he went to sleep after the altercation, and woke up to find Brannon dead on the floor. He then said he wrapped the victim in plastic and moved her to a trash dump behind his home.

A Cottondale man with a history of violence, especially against woman, and who is out on bond in the slaying of a woman is now back in jail after lawmen say he attacked another woman with a machete.

Charles Richard Sexton, 48, is charged with second-degree assault. Tuscaloosa authorities said Coaling police and the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office responded to the area of Beulah Drive just before 8 a.m. Friday on an assault call, said Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit Capt. Gary Hood.

When they arrived on the scene, a 33-year-old woman told them Sexton had cut her on the arm with the machete during an argument at Sexton's home. Investigators saw a laceration on the victim's arm, and took Sexton into custody without incident.

Sexton in December was charged with murder in the death of 30-year-old Jennette "Jenny" Sims Brannon. She was had been missing for several weeks until her body was discovered on Dec. 21.
