Deputies were dispatched to a residence for a disturbance involving 10-15 people. When deputies arrived, several individuals ran to a minivan and fled the scene. Deputies spoke with the victims and remaining witnesses. They learned that a 13-year-old female resident had been invited into a group chat. The conversation escalated and threats were made against her and her family. A large group of people arrived at her house and began yelling for her to come outside. The girl’s father and brother tried to de-escalate the situation, but the suspects assaulted them and pointed at least one gun at them. Their friends were heard yelling, “shoot him,” and the two men had red laser dots on their backs. A 21-year-old male was arrested and booked into jail for assault in the first degree.
