HAMILTON (July 16, 2009)--A man wanted in an incident in which a Coryell County man was beaten with the butt of a shotgun and a woman was threatened at gunpoint has been arrested in Hamilton County.

Coryell County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Joe Blakley told News 10 Thursday morning Edmund Odell Collins, of Evant, was arrested at his home by two sheriff's investigators.

Because the location actually was in Hamilton County, Collins was taken to the Hamilton County Jail, where he was held Thursday morning pending arraignment and bond.

Blakley said he expects to send deputies to Hamilton Thursday after arraignment to bring Collins back to Gatesville.

Collins was wanted in the beating of William Brundige, 53, who was struck with the butt of a shotgun during an altercation on July 8 near Jonesboro.

Tina Suggs, 40, Collins ex-girlfriend, was threatened with the gun.

Brundige was beaten in the head and chest with the butt of a shotgun at a ranch south of Jonesboro where Suggs and Brundige worked.

Suggs told deputies the attacker pointed the shotgun, ordered her to leave, and said he would kill her if she didn't.

Suggs told deputies she ran to get away.

Brundige was flown by air ambulance to Scott and White Hospital where he was initially treated and later released.

Blakley said Brundige would require surgery to repair areas of his face and also to repair multiple fractures of his right arm.
