A man was arrested following a reported disturbance at a Raymond Street residence in Summerville.

According to a Summerville Police Department incident report, officers were dispatched to 110 Raymond Street at approximately 11:35 PM on Monday, August 31.

The complainant told police that she and a man identified in the report as Jordan had been arguing over rent. She said the argument began inside her grandson’s room, where Jordan was allegedly screaming and tearing the room apart.

The complainant told officers she believed Jordan would damage property inside the home and showed police holes in the bedroom walls that she said he had previously made.

She also told officers she was afraid to go outside because Jordan had run from the residence after she called 911 and was hiding in a wooded area behind the home.

Officers located Jordan in the wooded area behind the residence, where police said he appeared to be hiding.

According to the report, the complainant appeared upset and frightened, and officers determined there was probable cause to believe Jordan had acted in a tumultuous manner that caused her to fear for her safety and property.

Jordan was taken into custody and transported to the Chattooga County Jail without incident. He was issued a citation for city ordinance disorderly conduct.
