State Police from at least four counties responded to a fight with reported gunfire on
Hattie's Run off Route 5, near the Calhoun-Gilmer line Thursday night. Calhoun 911
received a call from Cheryl Richards reportedly saying a man identified as Greg
Hudson had been involved in a conflict and had a gun.
Hudson was reportedly "fighting" with another man at the Richard's residence.
Hudson, who was said to be an out-of-area resident, owning a hunting cabin in the
rural area, apparently fled the scene shortly after 10:15 p.m., traveling to Cherry Fork,
but later returned to the area as police arrived.
Troopers Jeff Hunt from Calhoun, Tom Yanero from Gilmer and Doug Starcher from
Roane responded to the call, along with State Policemen from Braxton County.
When the incident first broke, Trooper Hunt advised Calhoun Control he did not want
Sheriff Allen Parsons (or his deputies) to respond, only State Police, although state
officers were a considerable distance from the scene. Hunt responded from the Nicut
area in southern Calhoun.
It was not learned if an arrest was made.
