A Thanksgiving gathering ended in arrest for a Chattooga County man last Wednesday. Jacob Riley Smith, 33, was arrested for multiple offenses, including obstruction of law enforcement and disorderly conduct. The situation began around 7:50 PM when Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to 606 Sloppy Floyd Lake Road after reports of a domestic dispute. The complainant stated that Smith, who had been invited to the celebration, arrived drunk around 3 PM and behaved aggressively towards other guests throughout the afternoon. Although Smith was not at the house when officers arrived, they searched for him and eventually found him hiding in brush near the residence. Smith refused to follow commands from law enforcement and resisted when deputies tried to help him out of the bushes. Deputies then restrained Smith, who continued to struggle while being transported to jail. Upon arrival at the Chattooga County Jail, he was placed in a restraint chair due to his ongoing combative behavior.
