Cobb was placed under arrest and transported to the Logan County Jail.
• Nicholas J. Beair, 35, of 4192 W. State Route 274, Huntsville, was charged with domestic violence related to an incident Sunday, Aug. 6.
Deputies responded about 12:15 a.m. to his residence on a report of a dispute between two brothers.
When they arrived, deputies said Beair was sweating profusely, his hands were shaky and his eyes were glassy, which were indicators that he was under the influence of methamphetamine. He said that his mother and brother were trying to remove him from the house and that his brother had called a bunch of people to assist in removing him.
Then while speaking to Beair’s brother, deputies learned that the defendant reportedly had been using methamphetamine for the past three days and not going to sleep. His brother also stated that Beair had been paranoid and delusional, and that the defendant also kicked in his bedroom door while he was sleeping. Deputies observed fresh marks on the door frame.
Beair was placed under arrest and transported to the jail.
