In a separate case, Thomas Jay Ray Northcutt, 41, of Chandler is being charged with domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
According to the affidavit filed by Lincoln County Sheriff’s officer Jimmy Brown, on July 5, a man walked into the lobby wanting to make a report that his son had beat him with a flashlight.
William told Brown he was working on fixing a television that his son broke when Thomas walked through the front door. William said he tried to stop him from coming through the door, which made Thomas mad, according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, William said he was holding a flashlight when Thomas pushed him up against a chair, took the flashlight and began hitting him in the head with it.
Brown observed two small wounds on his head and possibly a third, but couldn’t tell due to the matted blood, according to the affidavit.
Accompanied by Chandler Police officer Dax Phipps and Stroud Police officer Shawn Stewart, Brown went to Williams house to find Thomas, according to the affidavit.
With permission from William, Brown entered the house, found Thomas in William’s bedroom and arrested him.
Thomas’s bond is set at $3,000 including no contact with the victim.
