On Saturday, May 10th, 2025 at approximately 8:56 p.m. Deputies were dispatched to [600 BLOCK] Old Indian Springs Road in reference to a disturbance between the parties on scene. Sergeant Kendrick and I, Deputy Sammons responded.

Upon our arrival, I met with [VICTIM #1] and [VICTIM #2] while Sergeant Kendrick spoke with Barbara Smith and [WITNESS #1].

[VICTIM #1] informed me she had a video of Barbara threatening her and her husband. She stated they lived all lived on the property together. She stated they were building a tiny home behind the main house but they used the main house to shower and do all the required activities of daily living. She stated her husband [VICTIM #2] and [WITNESS #1] were sitting on the porch hanging out and Barbara got mad [WITNESS #1] would not come inside. While attempting to watch the video I had a hard time hearing it due to Barbara acting in a loud and irate manner with Sergeant Kendrick. I could hear Sergeant Kendrick tell her to let [WITNESS #1] speak.

The entire time Deputies were trying to speak with the subjects on scene was hindered by Barbara continuing to yell and be irate.

While Sergeant Kendrick and I were speaking to ourselves about our findings Barbara attempted to enter the residence. Sergeant Kendrick advised her to not enter the home. Barbara started to yell at us while we were trying to talk interfering with affective communication between Deputies.

I went to speak with [WITNESS #1] and Barbara while Sergeant Kendrick spoke with [VICTIM #1] and [VICTIM #2]. While Sergeant Kendrick was attempting to watch the video himself, Barbara again began yelling. Barbara continued to state she had a heart condition while being the only one continuously escalating the situation.

Sergeant Kendrick and myself once more attempted to speak amongst ourselves and Barbara attempted to enter the residence again. I informed her she could not go inside and she stated she was done and could. I pursued Barbara inside the residence and instructed her to come to me and place her hands behind her back as she was under arrest. Barbara was handcuffed to the rear which were checked for fit and double locked. While attempting to escort Barbara out of the home she stated she needed her medicine and I replied we would get it after she was placed in my marked patrol vehicle. Barbara stated no she would get it herself and pulled away from me. I informed her she would not and continued to attempt to walk. While attempting to walk she pulled me towards an open bedroom door where a black shotgun could be seen laying against the dresser corner right inside the door way. I pulled her towards the door and informed her no. Barbara pushed against me and kicked towards me.

Barbara was placed in the rear of my marked patrol car which was searched for contraband before and after transport which yielded no results. Barbara was transported to the Monroe County Jail where she was issued a Magistrate Court ticket for Disorderly Conduct sub section 20 and turned over to jail staff for further booking.
