According to Sampson County Sheriff’s reports, officers arrested David Claxton Beatty, 48, of 107 Evergreen Church St., Salemburg, after an altercation with a woman that reportedly had Beatty “grabbing the victim and refusing to let her leave the residence.
It was not clear from reports if the woman was an acquaintance of Beatty’s or a family member.
What was clear was that officers indicated in reports that Beatty was “intoxicated and combative” when they were trying to make the arrest, so much so that they couldn’t take fingerprints of him.
Beatty was taken to the Sampson County Detention Center and given a $50,000 bond. A trial date of April 3 was set.
