[NARRATIVE #1 on April 05, 2025]
On April 5th, 2025, at approximately 2325 hours, I was on duty patrolling in a marked Walker County issued uniform with my badge properly displayed and operating a marked patrol vehicle. I was dispatched to [60 BLOCK] J Ellis Court in regard to a disturbance between neighbors. The caller stated that both parties were threatening to shoot each other and knew that they had guns.
Upon my arrival I spoke to all parties separately. The witnesses stated they were at their residence and heard the suspects arguing with each other and yelling at a level so loud that it immediately interrupted their conversation. They stated that they began to threaten to kill each other and also knew they both have firearms.
One suspect refused to identify himself and refused to comply with commands given by deputies on scene. The other made a spontaneous utterance that he did threaten to kill the other suspect. Both parties were placed under arrest. See report for details.

[NARRATIVE #2 on April 05, 2025]
On the listed date and time I was dispatched to the listed location along with other deputies in reference to a report of a disturbance where two males were threatening to shoot each other with firearms.
Myself, Corporal Almeida, and Deputy Chavez arrived on scene. Myself and Deputy Almeida deployed our agency issued patrol rifles due to the report of firearms already having possibly been involved.
We approached the listed suspects residence which was told to dispatch as the incident location. As we approached I could hear someone speaking inside the home. I announced ourselves as sheriff’s deputies and gave loud verbal commands for the suspect to come out of his house with his hands up.
The suspect exited the residence with his hands near his head. Myself, Corporal Almeida, and Deputy Chavez trained out respective firearms at the suspect due to facts and circumstances known to us at this point. I ordered him to come down the steps and he refused several commands to do so. He finally came down the steps and was detained by Deputy Chavez.
Myself and Corporal Almeida did a protective sweep of the residence to ensure no injured parties or further threats were inside. Once the protective sweep was conducted we exited the residence and did not return inside.
While listening to the suspect speak it was immediately obvious that he was extremely intoxicated by his speech being slurred, his inability to maintain focus during conversation, and the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath.
We asked the suspect for his name and date of birth which he initially refused to provide.
I placed the suspect in my patrol car during the investigation.
Corporal Almeida placed the suspect under arrest and I transported him to the Walker County Jail. While en route to the Walker County Jail the suspect became very angry and upset and hit his head on the center partition in my patrol vehicle. Once at the jail he was turned over to detention staff and placed in a suicide safety smock. A use of force form will be completed and attached to this report.
