A man was arrested following a domestic disturbance in Summerville, according to a report from the Summerville Police Department that was released this week.
The incident happened on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at approximately 10:36 p.m. at a residence on Union Street.
According to the report, officers were dispatched to the location after a physical domestic incident involving a male and female subject. E-911 advised officers that the male subject had reportedly had a knife in his pocket at the time of the altercation.
When officers arrived, they spoke with the individuals involved, identified in the report as Bobby Durham and Cynthia Hogue. Police said Durham remained calm during the investigation, while Hogue was described as irate. Officers also reported noticing signs of alcohol use.
Hogue told police that she and Durham had argued after she learned she was no longer being invited to go fishing the following morning. She told officers that during the argument, Durham struck her in the face. The officer reported observing a red mark on Hogue’s right cheek below her eye and took photographs of the injury.
Durham told police the two had not been arguing and said Hogue had bought him alcohol from a nearby store. Officers searched Durham, the area where he had been standing, and the tent where Hogue was staying, but no knife was found.
Police said they also observed redness on Durham’s knuckles. After reviewing the information gathered at the scene, Durham was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Durham was transported to the Chattooga County Jail without further incident. The report also states Durham was issued a verbal trespass warning from the property.
