GIPSON |
Tony R. Gipson, 50, of 11400 Cherokee Path, Lakeview, was charged with assault, menacing, criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and public intoxication related to an incident Monday evening.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office responded about 5:50 p.m. to his address on a report of a fight in progress.
When deputies arrived, they found Gipson on the front porch of 11411 Cherokee Path, and they observed that he appeared to be heavily intoxicated and that he had physical injuries that were bleeding.
When asked what happened, Gipson reportedly told deputies that he had been involved in a dispute with his neighbor, Kurt Hawkins, 48, of 13779 Eagle Path. Deputies went to the neighbor’s residence, where Hawkins informed deputies that he had been working outside and was approached by Gipson, who attempted to fight him.
Hawkins said he asked Gipson to just “go home” approximately 12 times and to stay off his property. However, Hawkins said Gipson continued to come at him in an aggressive manner, so Hawkins said he threw Gipson to the ground. He denied punching or physically striking Gipson, but noted that Gipson this has been an ongoing problem with Gipson attempting to fight his neighbors while intoxicated.
Hawkins did not report any injuries. Indian Lake EMS treated Gipson at the scene.
Gipson was placed under arrest, and en route to the Logan County Jail, he reportedly threatened to harm deputies.
