Aggravated assault reported on Hwy. 172 An aggravated assault was report ed on Hwy. 172 near Comer last week. According to a report at the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, a man told deputies that he was fol lowing his son on Hwy. 172 March 2, when a silver SUV approached them and flagged them down. When they exited their vehicles, two white males, one who was described as stocky, approximately five foot ten inches tall and about 220 pounds with red hair and other as thin, approximately six foot two inches and 180 pounds, also exited their vehicle and began cursing at them. The suspects then told them that they “were not afraid of them and that they needed to stop stalking the girl they were following.” They then began to fight with the vic tims before getting back into their vehicle and threatening to “kill them,” before ramming their vehicle into the passenger side door of the father’s Dodge Ram, crushing the door in. At that point, the suspects left the scene, traveling toward Colbert on Hwy. 172. The victims stated they did not know who the men were. In another incident, officers went to a residence on Fowler Freeman Lane in reference to gun shots being fired at a mobile home. A man there told Deputy Jeff Vaughn that he knew the offender and that when he told the man to leave he went to his car and removed a pistol and shot at the trailer three times and that one shot hit the end of the trailer, but did not penetrate inside. Deputy Vaughn noted a bullet hole in the residence. There were four people inside the trailer at the time. The man was advised of the war rant process.

According to the incident report. Deputy James Reavis arrived at the residence to find a woman sitting on the side of the road holding a cry ing child. The woman told Reavis that her live-in boyfriend got upset with their younger son after he bit his older brother. He bit the younger boy on the right arm after slapping him in the mouth.
