An 18-year-old man was arrested following a disturbance at a residence on Railroad Circle in the Pennville area of Chattooga County.

According to an incident report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, Braylan Distance Tidmore, 18, was arrested on November 1, 2026, and charged with underage consumption or purchase of alcohol, disorderly conduct, and obstruction of an officer.

The incident occurred at approximately 1:19 PM at a residence at 142 Railroad Circle.

Sergeant Rob Villagomez responded to the residence and reported witnessing Tidmore in the yard screaming at a female.

The woman told the deputy that Tidmore had become upset after being awakened and had been arguing with her. She said he had asked her to leave and was yelling outside the residence.

According to the report, Sergeant Villagomez instructed Tidmore to stand away from the woman while the deputy attempted to speak with her. Tidmore allegedly refused to comply.

The deputy reported that Tidmore continued walking toward the woman despite repeated instructions to stop. When the deputy attempted to take him into custody for obstruction, Tidmore allegedly resisted by pulling away.

Sergeant Villagomez stated that he eventually placed Tidmore in handcuffs and escorted him to a patrol vehicle.

The report also states that Tidmore was yelling and cursing during the incident. The woman and another witness reportedly told the deputy that Tidmore had not pointed a firearm at anyone, despite the deputy initially being concerned about a possible firearm during the confrontation.

Tidmore was transported to the Chattooga County Jail. According to the deputy’s report, Tidmore admitted during transport that he had consumed alcohol.

The charges are accusations, and Tidmore is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
