On August 13th, 2024
at approximately 7:46am I, Deputy Robbie Garren was advised by the 911 Center that [WITNESS ] has called 911 stating that her brother Kendall Sanford was on her property acting crazy and trying to beat her husband [WITNESS ] up. The 911 Center further advised that this altercation was physical at this time and this was taking place at [1700 BLOCK] Highway 225 North.
I turned on my emergency blue lights and siren and began heading that way to try and stop this physical fight. The 911 Center advised that the caller Ms. [WITNESS ] stated that her brother went to his residence next door and stated he was going to get a weapon to fight [WITNESS ] with. I arrived on scene and saw that Detective Andy Dill was speaking to Mr. Sanford and that he was facing away from me. I then approached Mr. Sanford from behind and observed him cussing and stating that he had issues with [WITNESS ] and that he was not crazy and was telling Det. Dill to fuk off and that nothing needs to happen. I also observed that Mr. Sanford was bleeding from his left elbow, where he stated that [WITNESS ] slammed him to the ground and hurt his arms and knees. I then approached Mr. Sanford and placed him in cuffs before he could walk off or do harm to himself or others. I then walked him to Deputies Weaver patrol unit and placed him in the back seat. I walked over to [WITNESS ] and [WITNESS ] to figure out what took place. [WITNESS ] stated that last night Mr. Sanford cussed them and was very irate and violent towards them, and feels that he is going to a mental episode or dementia. [WITNESS ] stated that this morning her husband was outside with his workers when Mr. Sanford appeared and began cussing [WITNESS ] and swinging on him. She further stated that she then called 911 because she was in fear he was going to hurt her husband or himself. [WITNESS ] confirmed this story and stated that h3e did push Mr. Sanford to the ground because he was trying to hit him but that he did not slam him. [WITNESS ] stated he was not trying to hurt him but just wanted him to stop cussing and yelling in front of his 6 year old daughter that was standing with him. [WITNESS ] stated that Mr. Sanford was using the words fuk and god damn and stated this was not like him that he goes to church and everything.
Det. Dill explained to them the probate mental health warrant process, and advised them to go today. I then gave [WITNESS ] and [WITNESS ] the report information and advised them he was being arrested for disorderly conduct. [WITNESS ] and [WITNESS ] both wanted documented they did not wish for charges to be pressed but due to the circumstances Mr. Sanford would be taken to jail today for his and others safety. Deputy Weaver then transported Mr. Sanford to the Murray County Detention Center.
