On Thursday, July 31st 2025 at 08:59 hours I Deputy Stafford, was dispatched to [100 BLOCK] Classic Lane along with Corporal Vannoy and Deputy Elrod in reference to a physical disturbance involving Adams, Michael Keith, [VICTIM #1] and [VICTIM #2]. On the way to [100 BLOCK] Classic Lane, 911 dispatch advised me that the caller, [WITNESS #1], called back in and advised that her parents [VICTIM #1] and [VICTIM #2] had left the residence at [100 BLOCK] Classic Lane and came to her residence at [90 BLOCK] Wild Rose dr. I arrived at [90 BLOCK] Wild Rose dr at approximately 09:11 hours and spoke to [VICTIM #1] and [VICTIM #2]. We were advised that nightshift units had been out at [WITNESS #1] residence last night in reference to threats made by Michael Adams.

I then spoke to [VICTIM #1] while Corporal Vannoy and Deputy Elrod spoke to [WITNESS #1]. She advised me that the altercation occurred between her and her husband, [VICTIM #2], and her son Michael. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] told me that her son Michael had been drinking again and was acting violent toward them. She stated that her and her husband were attempting to leave the residence and call 911 because of how Michael was behaving.

She stated that when she was leaving and trying to get into her husbands truck she was going to try to call 911 and Michael grabbed her arm and shut the truck door causing it to slam on her arm and leave a visible injury and preventing her from calling. The injury I observed was about her left wrist and appeared to be a laceration. She then told me she was able to get in the vehicle and call her daughter [WITNESS #1] and told her to call 911.

I then spoke to [VICTIM #2] and he advised me that Michael had grabbed his hand roughly to try and prevent him from leaving when he and [VICTIM #1] were trying to leave. I did see a slight bruise on Mr. [VICTIM #2] hand but when I asked him if it was from Michael grabbing it he said that he wasn’t sure and that he thought it may have been already there. Mr. [VICTIM #2] then said that he and [VICTIM #1] attempted to get in his truck and leave. He stated that Michael would not let go of [VICTIM #1] so he grabbed his pistol and chambered a round and told Michael to let go. He stated that he saw Michael ball up his fist like he was going to strike [VICTIM #1] but he did not hit her. He stated that Michael still didn’t let go so he put his truck in drive and drove out of the yard until he eventually had to let go of her.

I, Deputy Stafford then headed with Deputy Elrod, Corporal Vannoy, Sgt. Keener, and Sgt. Pritchard towards [100 BLOCK] Classic Lane in order to make contact with Michael Keith Adams and take him into custody. Upon my arrival at [100 BLOCK] Classic Lane I knocked on the front door and Corporal Vannoy and I made contact with Michael Keith Adams. I then told Mr. Adams that he was under arrest and to place his hands behind his back. Mr. Adams complied with my order and I then placed handcuffs about his wrists, checked for fitment and double locked them. Mr. Adams complained about his wrist being broken. When I and Corporal Vannoy asked about how his wrist was injured he replied that he had struck an object 2 or 3 weeks ago. I then transported Mr. Adams to the jail where he was turned over to jail staff without further incident.
