lackson County Sheriffs Office arrests
Man with knife jailed after chasing woman
A man was arrested last
week in Jefferson after wit
nesses say he chased a
woman with a knife.
Chad Douglas Dorsey 35,
105 Bennett Drive, Gaines-
vile, faces charges of aggra
vated assault and second-de
gree cmelty to children.
Officers with the Jackson
County Sheriff’s Office were
called to a LaVista Road, Jef
ferson, residence on reports
of a domestic dispute. The
complainant saw a man with
a knife chasing a woman in
the yard.
Officers spoke with the
woman, who was sitting in a
vehicle, crying and wearing
only a T-shirt.
When asked what hap
pened, she said, “nothing,”
and continuously refused to
tell officers any details. She
eventually said she and Dors
ey had “gotten into it.”
Dorsey said the two had
gotten into an argument after
he took the children to see
their grandfather.
He told officers the woman
grabbed a steak knife and
unsuccessfully tried to flatten
his tires to prevent him from
leaving. He said she grabbed
his wrist during the argument
but it was “no big deal.”
Officers said neither
were open about the details
of the incident. When the
children were asked about
what happened, it report
edly appeared that “some
one had even coached the
children to prevent the truth
from being obtained.”
Officers found a bent
steak knife in the kitchen,
along with a large butcher
knife that was on the floor.
They spoke with a wit
ness, who said she heard a
commotion and saw Dors
ey chase the woman in the
yard until he caught her.
He reportedly held her in a
“choke-type hold” and held
a large knife to her neck.
The victim reportedly
screamed, “Call 9-1-1.” She
was able to get away from
him and locked herself in a
vehicle.
