Aug. 24: Deputies responded to a domestic violence incident after a man reported that a woman tried to hit him with a hammer, that she was carrying a gun and had meth on her before she left in a car. According to the call log, the woman was taken into custody.

Aug. 25: A neighbor reported that two women and a man were arguing, yelling and screaming at each other outside. One woman wanted to pick up some property but the man said he was going to destroy whatever she did not take. Deputies told him to leave her items alone.
