On Monday, September 22nd, a Chattooga County officer traveled to Pecan Orchard Road in reference to a verbal domestic incident.
Other officers, and some from different areas, arrived at the scene as well. A woman told officers that her fiance, Morie Wells, had been in a verbal dispute which lasted throughout the day in regards to Mr. Wells seeing another woman. Mr. Wells' fiance also mentioned that Mr. Wells had been involved in another domestic argument earlier that day and had also damaged her car the same day.
Mr. Wells had allegedly taken a bicycle and crashed it through her car's windows.
After officers confronted Mr. Wells, he told them that his fiance was seeing another man, and that he had damaged her car. Mr. Wells could not provide a description or name to this man.
Mr. Wells was told that he was under arrest, and immediately began struggling with officers to try to avoid being handcuffed.
Eventually Mr. Wells was taken to the Chattooga County Jail to Criminal Damage to Property 2nd degree and four counts of Willful Obstruction of Law Enforcement Officers.
