Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

According to an incident report at the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, on Monday of this week, a deputy was dispatched to a location on Gilreath Mill Road, at Cloudland, after 9-1-1 received a call from a man stating that someone entered his home armed with a knife – and had afterwards fled into the woods.

Upon the deputy’s arrival the complainant told him that a white male, wearing a blonde wig had come into his camper, and started a fight.

He went on to tell the deputy they fought for (quote) “four hours” and that the man wanted to take copper wire from inside the camper and that’s why they were fighting.

The complainant later said there were TWO men trying to get the copper wire and they had both run into the woods – wearing army clothes and wigs (Don’t ask, don’t tell).

EMS was called to the scene to treat the complainant after officers noticed that he had a cut on his hand.

A search of the property turned up no sign of the “suspects”, and neighbors reported they’d seen no one else on the property but had heard the complainant yelling and cussing, adding that at one point he had come over and asked to use the phone.

According to the report the complainant did NOT appear to have been involved in any “four hour long” fight however he DID appear to be under the influence of a substance at the time of the incident. 

Anthony Trammell was then placed under arrest and charged with false report of a crime – prior to being transported to the Chattooga County Jail.
