The following are excerpts from reports recently generated by the Texas County Sheriff’s Department:
•A deputy was advised on Aug. 15 that an inmate in the county jail had intentionally punched a Cinder video device located in Wing 4.
The officer reviewed security video that depicted the inmate – a 40-year-old Summersville man – walking up to the device and breaking it with a punch.
A probable cause statement was sent to the county prosecutor seeking property damage charge against the inmate.
•A deputy responded on Aug. 15 to a report of a domestic disturbance involving three men at a Highway C residence at Licking.
The fight reportedly began when a 27-year-old man heard his girlfriend arguing with a 50-year-old man. The two ended up in a physical altercation, and a third man, 27, joined in.
Nobody wished to pursue charges, and everyone was advised of the 12-hour rule.
