The Graham County Sheriff’s Office responded to 48 incidents between Aug. 21 and Aug. 24, according to the agency’s latest incident report. The calls included traffic stops, welfare checks, domestic disturbances, disorderly conduct, thefts, medical calls and agency assists.
Among the more serious calls was a domestic disturbance Aug. 21 on Cluff Ranch Road. Deputies were called after a report of a physical altercation involving adults and three children. The children reportedly locked themselves in a bedroom while a woman attempted to get inside. One person was detained, and the woman was later transported for medical evaluation after becoming combative while in custody.
On Aug. 22, deputies also responded to a report of a suspicious man near U.S. Highway 191 who was allegedly refusing to leave private property and attempting to rush the reporting party. The man fled north along a canal after the resident displayed a holstered firearm.
Another significant call involved a reported domestic assault at Noon Creek Campground on Aug. 22. A woman initially reported that a man had run over her with a pickup and later told dispatchers she was being held hostage. Deputies searched the area and eventually located her with a minor knee abrasion. The incident was ultimately classified as a domestic matter.
Other incidents included the reported theft of a .22-caliber revolver from a Dodge Ram near U.S. Highway 70, a dirt-bike accident involving a 15-year-old, and a two-vehicle crash on U.S. 191 in which a driver was suspected of DUI.
The report covers incidents beginning Aug. 21 and includes calls received through the early morning hours of Aug. 24.
