A Saturday, Nov. 29, argument over pizza turned violent, leaving one man with an injured leg and another in jail.

According to reports:

Joshua Shane Waddell, 26, 419 Flint Hill Road, Aragon, claimed he was stabbed in the leg by Roy Thomas Byrd, 38, 60 Mack Jones Road, Aragon. Waddell told police that he, Byrd and others were “eating pizza and drinking” earlier that evening at 374 Jack Atkins Road, Rockmart. Byrd allegedly began confronting other people at the residence when Waddell asked him to leave.

Waddell said Byrd refused to leave the Jack Atkins Road home. Their confrontation became physical and Byrd tackled the victim. As they fought on the floor, Byrd allegedly revealed a knife and stabbed Waddell in the leg, and the two were separated.

Later that evening, Officer Angie Barnette located Byrd inside the home and placed him under arrest for aggravated assault.

Aggravated assault

Two men were arrested Saturday, Nov. 29, following a scuffle in which one was hit with a frying pan.

From reports:

Mark Allen Jordan, 45, 131 Robinson Watts Road, claimed Joseph Allen Samples, 47, of the same address, hit him with an iron skillet. During the scuffle, Jordan reportedly broke the power box at the side of the residence. Officer Jeremy Wilkes noted that Jordan was bleeding from his head.

When emergency personnel arrived on the scene, Wilkes led Jordan to the ambulance. The victim reportedly became combative and allegedly tried to strike the officer.

Once Jordan’s head was bandaged, he was arrested on charges of obstruction, criminal trespass and interference with public utilities. Samples was charged with aggravated assault.

Domestic dispute

On Nov. 28, a woman claimed her husband assaulted her with a frozen turkey.

From reports:

Albert Norris Wells, 37, 112 Alexander Court, was arrested for simple battery after a dispute with his wife, Sherry Christine Wells, 36.

At approximately 10:44 p.m., police were dispatched to Wells’ home in reference to a 911 hang up. When Sgt. Henry Runyan knocked on the door, he was met by Wells. He told Runyan that he and his wife had been arguing, but no one became violent.

Runyan and Officer Joy Nolen then entered the home, finding Sherry Wells distraught, and her shirt torn. Although Albert Wells claimed the confrontation with his wife was not physical, his wife said her husband had slapped her and “hit her with a frozen turkey.”

Following the victim’s statement, Albert Wells was placed under arrest and escorted to the Cedartown Police Department.
