A Summerville man was cited for disorderly conduct after police responded to a heated confrontation in a parking lot on Saturday night.

According to the Summerville Police Department, Officer B. Campbell was patrolling the area of Highway 114 at approximately 9:35 p.m. on July 25 when he observed what appeared to be a verbal altercation between a man and a woman in the parking lot of the Pay N Tote convenience store.

The individuals were identified as Cody Cameron and Hilary Hall. Police said the officer made contact with both parties and learned that Hall was speaking with Cameron about his wife and children. Cameron reportedly told the officer that he did not like his wife being friends with Hall and confronted her in the parking lot.

According to the report, Cameron appeared to be intoxicated and admitted that he had been drinking. Officer Campbell issued Cameron a citation for disorderly conduct, alleging he engaged in a belligerent and hostile manner in public while intoxicated.

No additional charges or injuries were reported.
