A Chattooga County man was arrested Sunday following a domestic disturbance on Bryant Road, according to the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities say Ricky Tapp, 38, was charged with criminal trespass and terroristic threats and acts, both felony offenses. Deputies were dispatched to the residence around 3:35 p.m. on March 8 after receiving a report of an aggressive and intoxicated individual.
According to the incident report, a woman told deputies that Tapp had gone to his uncle’s home and allegedly punched him during an altercation. She also reported that Tapp had made threats during the confrontation. When deputies arrived, they spoke with Tapp and reported smelling alcohol on his breath before traveling to the uncle’s residence to continue the investigation.
Investigators say the uncle told deputies that Tapp arrived at the home unannounced and intoxicated, began arguing, and made threats toward him. After speaking with both parties and witnesses, deputies took Tapp into custody and transported him to the Chattooga County Jail.
Officials say the investigation included statements from witnesses and was captured on body camera.
