On November 11th, a Chattooga County officer reported to Smallen Road due to an incident of a domestic problem. 

One man met the officer at his home and told him that his neighbors had accused him of threatening his nephew with a gun. The man said he was hunting behind his house and he told two children that they needed to go home. One of the children's mother, later identified as Ms. Amanda Horton, thought that her son had been threatened with a gun, so she allegedly assaulted the man's wife, Mrs. Patricia Wynn in retaliation.

A moment later, another officer arrived to speak with the neighbors to hear their side of the story.

Mrs. Wynn was asked about the incident, and she said that she was "tired of [Ms. Horton] running her mouth." When Mrs. Wynn went next door to confront Ms. Horton, Ms. Horton allegedly pushed her and slapped her before Mrs. Wynn could act.

After an investigation, both officers determined that Mrs. Wynn and Ms. Horton would be arrested and transported to the Chattooga County detention for fighting in public.
