A woman from Chattooga County, Karen Wiseman, is facing charges after reportedly fighting with law enforcement and a security guard at Lyerly Cemetery last week. The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office stated that Wiseman was found asleep in her vehicle on the cemetery grounds. A deputy responded to a report about a woman asleep in her car, who might have damaged tombstones. The security guard informed the the deputy that Wiseman had already been asked to leave earlier and had raised concerns about potential damage. When the deputy approached Wiseman and identified himself, she became agitated, yelling and screaming. Despite being asked to leave calmly, she refused and continued to shout. When she exited her vehicle and started to walk away, the deputy tried to detain her. Wiseman allegedly resisted and reached into her vehicle. Fearing she was getting a weapon, the deputy restrained her with help from the security guard until other deputies arrived. Wiseman was then taken to the Chattooga County Jail.
