Man arrested after fight with relative
TREVLAC — A Brown County man was arrested on Sept. 8 after police say he grabbed a relative, held him to a chair and threatened to kill him twice.
According to a report by Sgt. Bill Southerland, police were called to a possible fight in the 4600 block of State Road 45 just after 9 p.m. The caller reported that a man was returning to his home and that there was going to be a fight. The two people involved were reportedly intoxicated.
Southerland and Deputy Josh Stargell were met in the driveway by the victim, who stated Jeremiah Fox, 38, had been difficult to get along with for several days and tonight it was worse. He said that Fox had grabbed him by his arms, held him to a chair and yelled threats at him including that he was going to kill him, the police report said. Southerland reported seeing no visible injuries on the victim.
The man said that he was talking to another person on the phone when Fox threatened to kill him a second time. Southerland spoke with that person who confirmed that story.
Southerland reported smelling alcohol on both Fox and the victim.
While being arrested, Fox reportedly continued to argue with the victim. He was taken to the Brown County jail. On Sept. 10, he was charged with domestic battery, a Class A misdemeanor.
