Goat At Large — John R. Jordan, 38, of 95 Maytown Road, Huntingdon, was cited for animal running at large following a recent incident involving his goat.

According to the report by Deputy Christopher Adams, a homeowner on Buena Vista Road told deputies on Sept. 13 that a goat belonging to Jordan was on his back porch, that it tried to get into his house, it head-butted him in the buttocks, and it defecated on his porch. Jordan came to the property to retrieve his goat. The report noted that deputies have responded to calls about this particular goat on previous occasions.

Aggravated Assault — Mike Brotherton, 58, of 465 Holmes Mill Road, Huntingdon, was charged with aggravated assault following a Sept. 10 incident at a Hollow Rock residence.

According to the report by Deputy Chance Townes, deputies responded to a call about an altercation between neighbors on Cemetery Boundary Street. Upon arrival, deputies found Tedd Karp was bleeding from his left arm and his son had a head injury, and it was determined Brotherton struck the two with a stick he had gotten from inside the house. Brotherton told officers he did strike them, but he also said the son had struck him with a cane. Townes looked but did not see any marks of injury on Brotherton’s body. The father and son received medical attention at the scene but refused transport to the hospital.

Gunshot Fired — Deputies are looking into a recent case of a firearm being fired from a vehicle near a residence in the McKenzie area.

According to the report by Deputy Christopher Adams, he responded to a call on Sept. 11 to a residence on Oak Manor Road. Resident Rodney Griffin told deputies he heard a gun being fired and then saw a white, four-door Dodge pickup truck pass by his residence with a passenger holding a shotgun out the window.

A K-9 unit was called to the scene after Manning denied Roberts’ request to search the vehicle, and a search was conducted after the dog indicated the presence of illegal substances. During that search, deputies found a pipe with residue, a small cylinder containing a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine, three THC vape pens, a Glock 40-caliber handgun, a .308 rifle, and a digital scale.
