Domestic violence sweep nets numerous arrests


e-mail print friendly

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office and Fayetteville Police Department joined forces Thursday for the sixth annual National Family Violence Apprehension Detail, a warrant-serving sweep by law enforcement.

The effort resulted in 83 arrests as law enforcement officers attempted to serve approximately 200 warrants, officials said. Charges ranged from domestic violence violations and misdemeanor simple assault, to failure to provide child support.

“No one should be a victim of domestic violence. Everyone should do their part to help break this growing cycle," Sheriff Earl R. Butler said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with the Cumberland County Alcohol and Beverage Control Commission, assisted with the sweep.

The'Moose'is Loose. Get'em Earl!

oh, and domestic violence against a blood relative is a minor felony charge not a misdeamor

domestic violence stinks! unfortunately it peaks during periods of stress ie holidays and the economic stresses being placed on folks right now-----unfortunately I predict an increase as things get tighter....... anyone?

not paying child support is also not really a legal activity, and should be punished MORE!

This makes me really happy to know that I am SINGLE!
