Lyle G. Payne, 51, and December Combs, 49, both of 208 Walnut St., Belle Center, each were charged with domestic violence related to an incident Tuesday afternoon.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office responded about 3:30 p.m. to the residence on a report of a domestic dispute. While en route, deputies were informed that Combs had gone to a neighbor’s residence, and they spoke with her there.
She told deputies that she and her fiancé, Payne, had gotten into an argument when he became physical with her and began stomping on her feet, pushed her and made threats against her.
Payne told deputies that Combs had taken his vehicle keys and broke a dog tag off of them. He said she also grabbed his shirt and dug her nails into his chest.
Deputies first informed both parties that they would be receiving summonses for domestic violence. However, while deputies were preparing the paperwork, Payne reportedly began yelling across the yard to Combs and then became angry with deputies, reporting striking a candle on the porch that shattered and struck the house.
Payne was placed under arrest and was transported to the Logan County Jail. Combs was issued the summons.

Melissa A. Wilkey, 51, of 11583 N. State Route 235, Lakeview, was charged with inducing panic and disorderly conduct related to an incident Tuesday.
Deputies were dispatched to her residence on a well-being check. At the residence, deputies found that she was distraught, but she refused transport to Mary Rutan Hospital to see a mental health counselor.
She was placed under arrest and lodged in the jail.
Summons issued after pot-bellied pig incident
Joseph H. King III, 54, of St. Helen, Mich., was issued a summons for animal at large related to an incident Monday afternoon.
Deputies spoke with Aaliyah Speert, 5309 County Road 171, who stated her neighbor’s pot-bellied pig had escaped its enclosure and ran onto her property. She said the pig entered the pasture area and reportedly bit her horse in the mouth when the horse reached down to sniff the pig. The bite reportedly pierced through the horse’s upper lip and required veterinarian treatment.
Speert said this was not the first time that the pot-bellied pig had gotten out of its pen at the neighbor’s residence, 8455 Township Road 169.
King was identified as the pig’s owner and was located Tuesday and issued the summons.
