George Nicholas "Nick" Parsons, 28, of Grantsville has been charged with domestic
assault in Calhoun Magistrate Court. Parsons was involved in a family squabble early
Thursday morning which reportedly turned violent.
The incident happened at a mobile home on Sugar Camp Road, just off Yellow
Creek.
Jeremy Collins, a brother-in-law to Parsons, was taken to Minnie Hamilton Health Care
Center by Calhoun EMS, suffering from a hand wound. Parsons was also injured, but
refused transport to the hospital.
Sherry Parsons, wife of Nick Parsons, was present with children when a 12-guage
sawed-off shotgun was fired in the dwelling. Knives may have played a part in some
injuries, according to authorities.
Sheriff Allen Parsons said the dispute escalated in the early morning hours and "the
situation became very dangerous."
Sheriff Parsons, Deputy Carl Ballengee and Trooper Fred Hammack entered the
residence after Collins was taken to the hospital, and Parsons was taken into
custody.
The charges were filed by the State Police.
