On 06/08/18, at 6:44 p.m., officers of the Johnson City Police Department responded to Wild Wings Café, 71 Wilson Ave., in reference to a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers made contact with a male subject who reported he was sitting in the restaurant when he noticed a female in the establishment, whom he had taken out an order of protection against. The male further stated the female, 49 year old Debbie Fletcher Wampler, 7 Windridge Ct., Johnson City, approached and began to push him, while telling him to leave the establishment. The victim was able to record the assault on his cell phone.
During the course of the officer’s investigation, it was discovered the order of protection had been served on 05/18/18 by the Washington County Sheriffs Department.
