Simmons had been shot in the throat, police said. He was taken to an area hospital where his non-life-threatening injuries were treated before he was released and taken to the Hampton County Detention Center, according to the release.
Simmons was charged with first-degree domestic violence (of a high and aggravated nature), police said.
The charge stems from an assault early Monday morning, according to the release. At about 4 a.m., officers responded to a person who wanted to meet with law enforcement regarding an incident involving his mother and her boyfriend, later identified as Simmons, police said. The person said he fired a shot to defend his mother, who was being attacked by her boyfriend, according to the release.
