BAPITST VALLEY (WVVA) - Two men are currently in police custody after they were involved in two separate altercations with each other on Friday.
Following is the full release from the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office:
On 7/20/12 at 10:15 am deputies from the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office responded to a call of a man brandishing a firearm on Barbarosa Ln. in Baptist Valley. Deputies arrived on scene and took 36 year old Marty Hurd of Barbarosa Ln. into custody for Brandishing a Firearm at 55 year old David Mikolic of Thompson Valley and confiscated a .460 magnum handgun from Hurd. Deputies took Hurd before the magistrate and he was released on an unsecured bond. At this point in the investigation it is still unclear what the cause of the confrontation was between Hurd and McCullock.
At 1:39 pm deputies were called back to Barbarosa Ln. regarding these same two individuals being involved in a fight with a large stick, this time allegedly there were no firearms involved. Before deputies could arrive on scene both parties left the scene, Mikolic was stopped in a traffic stop on Baptist Valley Rd. and taken into custody for Breech of the Peace and Resisting Arrest. While on Barbarosa Ln. deputies were speaking with Hurd who was inside his residence stating, "I'm not going back to jail." Deputies on scene continued to speak with Hurd and observed Hurd in possession of a shotgun. Deputies were able to disarm Hurd, and confiscated the shotgun and took Hurd into custody.
At the time of this statement, Hurd and Mikolic are being questioned and will then be taken before the magistrate. There may be additional charges pending against both men based upon the continuing investigation. David Mikolic is currently out on a 1,200 secure bond after earlier this month deputies of the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office charged Mikolic with three counts of Possession of a Firearm while being a convicted Felon.
