Three men were involved in a physical confrontation in Lyerly that landed one man in jail and the other two with warrants for their arrest. According to the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, on the evening of July 18th, Levi McGuire was riding by a Tennessee Avenue address in Lyerly hollering profanities. McGuire, who was the passenger in the vehicle, then jumped out of the moving car and confronted people in the yard. The report did not indicate what the raucous was all about, but did say McGuire, Christopher Bryant and Kirby Reed were all involved in the altercation. McGuire ended up at the emergency department in Trion due to injuries. The report didn’t say if the injuries were from the fight or from McGuire jumping out of a moving car. While deputies were at the emergency department speaking with McGuire, the other two men showed up. Christopher Bryant said Kirby Reed brought him to the emergency department due to a heart condition. Deputies arrested Kirby Reed and took out warrants on the other two men who were receiving medical treatment. All three were charged with affray.
