In another incident, a Danielsville man was arrested last week on violation of a family violence order after he became disorderly and refused to leave. Scott Fitzgerald Strickland, 40, was arrested without incident. His sister-in-law said that he was yelling at her and got in her face and that’s why she called 911.
Shortly thereafter, officers were summoned back to the Hwy. 98 East residence concerning an incident with a knife. According to the incident report, Strickland’s daughter was upset that her father was arrested and stated she was coming to the residence to confront her aunt. All the doors were locked prior to the daughter’s arrival to try to keep the peace. When the daughter went to the back door of the residence, the aunt, who was allegedly intoxicated, stabbed a butcher knife through the door glass. Shards of glass struck the daughter and the aunt’s hand was hurt from going through the glass. Witness statements were taken at the scene and the aunt refused transport to the hospital.
