SUBJECT: | Jeffery Hammonds Arrest | DATE: | 6/21/2016 | TIME: | 1900 hours |
PREPARED BY: | Erik Ferguson | APPROVED BY: | Sgt. Van Mominee | ||
On 6/21/2016 at approximately 1800 hours, Officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Jeffery Wayne Hammonds, 46 years of age, no known address and charged him with one count each of Aggravated Assault and Criminal Impersonation.
The arrest stems from an investigation in which the victim and two witnesses advised officers that Mr. Hammonds was at 502 N Broadway St, highly agitated, intoxicated, and apparently searching for something. They said that he then approached the victim and threatened him with a knife. When officers stopped him, he was carrying a large makeshift knife in his hand. Upon his arrest he gave a false name to the arresting officers. Hammonds was later identified by deputies of the Washington County Detention Center upon being booked into that facility.
Mr. Hammonds was arrested and transported to the Washington County Detention Center, where he is being held in lieu of a $21,000 bond. Hammonds is scheduled to appear in Washington County General Sessions Court for a preliminary hearing.
