What started as a missing person call quickly spun out into street-side chaos — with accusations of looting, threats of violence, and one man nearly tased before being hauled off to jail.
Deputies were dispatched after a woman phoned in, saying she wanted to report her friend “CB” missing. But by the time she spoke with deputies, she had already learned the truth: CB had passed away before this incident even began.
When law enforcement arrived, they found shouting, arguments, and suspicions flying outside the late CB’s home in Chesapeake, Ohio.
What Deputies Learned 👮♂️
💀 CB Already Deceased: CB’s son confirmed his father had passed away prior to this call.
🏚️ Suspicious Activity: The caller claimed she saw three people going into the deceased man’s home and removing items without permission.
😡 Threats Made: She also told deputies that one man threatened to kill her, while another threatened to physically assault her.
🚪 Evidence of Trouble: The deceased man’s son told deputies the front door had been damaged. He also found bullets inside the home — but no gun.
From Missing Person to Taser Standoff ⚡
When deputies attempted to arrest one of the men accused of making threats, he tried to bolt. Deputies drew their Tasers and ordered him to stop. Faced with the flashing threat of 50,000 volts, the man wisely gave up and surrendered. He was cuffed on the spot and transported to the Lawrence County Jail.
Lingering Questions ❓
Deputies may have calmed the shouting match on the street, but several troubling questions remain:
- Who damaged the front door?
- Was looting actually taking place before deputies arrived?
- And where is the missing firearm to match the bullets found in the home?
For now, a grieving family is left to mourn in the middle of chaos, one man is behind bars, and deputies are left untangling a scene where grief, anger, and suspicion all boiled over at once.
