A Chattooga County man was charged with obstruction of a law enforcement officer on January 11. According to the report filed by Deputy John Chandler, the events of the evening began when a couple was arguing at McDonald's. The woman appeared calm and was cooperative though still verbally aggravated, according to the report. The man, 28 year old Christopher Thomas Warren, of Selma Drive, Trion, did admit to drinking an alcoholic beverage prior to the incident. Both were told to leave and not return. The woman left in her vehicle, but Warren said he didn't have a ride home. Deputy Chandler gave Warren a ride home, but when they arrived Warren said he couldn't stay there. Chandler then reportedly told Warren that he couldn't take him anywhere else. It was at that point that Warren reportedly became "boisterous" while in the rear of the patrol car, according to the report.  The report indicates that Chandler stopped the patrol car at this time and advised Warren he was under arrest. While putting Warren in restraints he resisted significantly and would not return to the back of the police car without Chandler's assistance. While being transported to the Chattooga County Jail, Warren reportedly told Deputy Chandler that he "would harass" him "every time he came in contact" with him. And made several  racial slurs against the deputy, who is African American.  He further told Chandler that he was only being taken to jail because a Trion officer told him to do so and he referred to a Trion Police Department officer as a "cracker."
