A Danielsville man who proclaimed “running from the law was in his blood” was arrested last week after someone called 9-1-1 to report that he was at their door trying to get inside their home.
Ricky James Ramsey, 36, 527 Cowart Toole Road, was charged with obstruction, possession of methamphetamine and criminal trespass. The victim told officers Ramsey ran off toward the woods when officers arrived. They found him lying down behind some bushes about 40 yards into the woods. A flashlight, overalls and a metal container were found with him. As he was being taken back to the patrol car, he reportedly told officer Brandon Hanley that “running from the law was in his blood.” An off-white residue that tested positive for methamphetamine was located inside the metal container.
Other incidents on file at the sheriff's office recently included:
oA concerned neighbor called in a fight between two men on West Second Avenue last week. Officer Brandon Hanley found a man there with a golf club in one hand and a wooden object in another hand. The other party had a laceration on his arm and a contusion to his head. The pair, who both were intoxicated, said they had begun arguing about things from their past. Both declined to press charges.
oA couple on Piedmont Road allegedly got into a physical altercation in front of one of their two children last week. The woman stated her boyfriend had been drinking when he pushed her down on the couch and hit her on the side of the head. She said this was not the first time and that she had taken out a TPO on him last year. About 15 minutes later, the woman called back to say that the man took her vehicle and sped away, screaming and cussing at her. He and the vehicle were found at his parents' home on Pope Miller Road. He was not arrested for taking the vehicle because his girlfriend said she lets him drive it. She was allowed to come get the vehicle and the man was released to his parents.
