A Commerce man was arrested recently following a domestic dispute with his girlfriend.
Weyman Lee Howell, 55, 212 Harmony Street, was charged with simple battery FVA.
According to the incident report, officer Brandon Moss went to a home on Mountain View Lane where he spoke with the woman, who said that her boyfriend (Howell) had been drinking all night and that she woke him up to ask where her cell phone was. He said he didn’t know, but the phone rang in his pocket when she called it. She said she asked him for her phone and he began to curse at her and grabbed her hair and slapped her face. A witness at the scene corroborated the woman’s story and Howell was arrested.
In another incident, a Hull woman was arrested last weekend after she allegedly tried to assist a burglary suspect with escaping from a search party.
Linda Kay Massey, 52, 165 Ed Coile Road, was charged with obstruction and hindering apprehension or punishment of a criminal. According to the report, Lt. Burl Johnson was summoned to Hudson River Church Road to assist Franklin County with a search of someone who committed a theft of wire in their county. K-9 units and the State Patrol helicopter were also brought to the scene. During the search, a man flagged down an officer to tell them the man they were looking for had come to his house to use their cell phone. A woman at the residence said the man used the phone and then walked off into the woods. While officers were at the residence, the phone he had used rang and a woman asked if the police were gone and said she would pick up the man at Jot-Em-Down Grocery store in a silver Neon. The woman was later apprehended after she picked up the man on Hudson River Church Road.
