On 24 Jun 08 Lt. Huffer and Sgt. Brockmeier were dispatched to the scene of a domestic dispute at 17315 State Route 339, Waterford. Upset over his arrest in Beverly earlier that morning for driving under a suspended license, Curt Husk, age 41, wanted to start or continue drinking at 10:30 am. His wife Joann, age 32, thought otherwise and dumped out her husband’s bottle of hard lemonade. Mr. Husk entered their garage with his alcohol, locked the door and began yelling. Mrs. Husk entered the garage at which point Mr. Husk stated to a friend on the phone to “come get him or he would kill someone.” Mr. Husk realized shortly thereafter his wife phoned for help and pushed her into and held her against a wall. Mrs. Husk escaped and her husband entered the garage with an ax and destroyed his cell phone. Soon after that the deputies arrived and arrested Mr. Husk for domestic violence without further incident.

On 24 Jun 08 witnesses reported an unknown male and female were causing a disturbance in the parking lot of the Lakeside Motel in Beverly. En route, Sgt.

Mr. Zuniga had an odor of alcohol and could not provide an address other than that it was a trailer in Beverly.

On the floor of the car Deputy Mankins discovered two pill bottles bearing Babcock’s name that were filled on 20 Jun. Quick calculations of the prescribed doses for the generic forms of Xanax and Percocet revealed that if taken properly there should be seventy-five of each pills remaining. However, Deputy Mankins counted thirty-nine Xanax and fourteen Vicodin pills. Transported to Marietta Memorial Hospital and treated for a drug overdose, Babcock was later released and arrested for failing to reinstate his operator’s license and for being in physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
