Timothy Dewayne Sanders jail intake photo.
Warrants by Manchester Officer Jamie Norris allege that when officers arrived they found Timothy Dewayne Sanders, 41, of Madison Street, Manchester standing a few feet from a victim with a knife in his hand. The warrants allege that police told Sanders to drop the knife, but he refused. In fear for the victim’s safety officers tazed Sanders but he still would not drop the knife, so they tazed him a second time.
According to the warrants, the victim had two small cuts on the left side of her neck.
Sanders was charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest. His bond was set at $15,000. He will appear in Coffee County General Sessions Court at a later date.
Garage Fire in North Coffee
The North Coffee County Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fire on Boynton Valley Road on Nov. 27 around 1:30 p.m. and found a structure fire. The fire department battled a blaze that started when property owner Raymond Farless was burning a brush pile and it got out of hand.
According to a Coffee County Sheriff’s deputy report, when the officers arrived they found a garage fully engulfed with flames. They also saw that the fire had burned a large portion of the yard along with a bush hog, lawnmower and a 1997 Jeep. The fire had also melted the vinyl siding on the end and back of the building. The fire department arrived and quickly extinguished the blaze, but the garage was a total loss.
Farless told deputies that he and his wife tried to fight the fire with buckets of water. When the fire reached the garage, he called 911.
