Stanley Shepherd, whose age was unavailable, of Parker Lane was treated at West Georgia Medical Center and released.
Warrants were issued for Robert LaMarcus Shepherd, whose age was unavailable, who had fled before officers arrived.
In another incident, police said Alexis D. Owens, whose age was unavailable, kicked down the door of a neighbor’s apartment about 5:50 a.m. Saturday in the 400 block of Ashton Street and assaulted him with a space heater, then “tried to electrocute (the victim) with the cord of the heater.”
“Once the electrocution did not work, Owens then tied the cord in a knot and attempted to strangle (him) with the cord,” police said.
There was no record of the victim being treated at West Georgia Medical Center.
A woman in the apartment stayed in a corner of the room because Owens had threatened to kill her if she moved, police said.
Owens fled before police arrived. Anyone with information on his whereabouts was asked to call 911 or Crime Stoppers at (706) 812-1000.
Kidnapping
LaGrange police arrested a man wanted by Hogansville authorities for the alleged abduction of his former girlfriend.
Robert Edward Bayles, 18, of Fredrick Avenue in Ho-gansville was taken into custody without incident about 9 a.m. Friday after police knocked on the door of his room at Baymont Inn and Suites off Lafayette Parkway. Police had received a tip that his vehicle was at the motel.
He was being held without bond on charges of kidnapping and reckless conduct. The 18-year-old alleged victim, also of Hogansville, was found in the room unharmed.
Bayles, wielding an ax and wearing a bandanna over his face, allegedly forced the woman into his car about 12:45 a.m. Friday on White Street in Hogansville, but “she said he never threatened her again after that,” said Hogansville police officer Carrla Querry.
Drowning
Sheriff’s deputies were still searching for an Atlanta man presumed to have drowned Friday at West Point Lake.
Delton Frazier, 65, a retired military veteran, had launched his boat at Horace King Access off Roanoke Road. The boat apparently drifted away and Frazier went after it, but didn’t make it. The boat was found against the shoreline about 300 yards from the boat ramp.
Officers from the sheriff’s department, state Department of Natural Resources, Army Corps of Engineers and Carroll County Fire Department dived and dragged the lake bottom until 2 a.m. Saturday and resumed at 7 a.m.
“It’s tough because nobody saw him go in the water and there’s no exact location,” sheriff’s Chief Investigator Charles Nixon said.
Fire
A fire reported at 10:08 p.m. Friday destroyed the home of Willie and Lukecha Rosser at 121 Reeves St. in LaGrange.
The loss, estimated at $40,000, was blamed on an unattended candle in a bedroom.
