Man With Machete on Tick Ridge Road 

A man contacted officers just before 8 am to report that a guy who lived in a camper on his property was on his porch and refusing to leave. He said he was in the process of evicting the man.  

Officers made contact with the tenant and tried and offered him a ride somewhere else, but he was unable to make contact with anyone. A deputy advised him to stay off the porch. 

A few hours later, a local counseling center wanted deputies to check on the man because he had been hallucinating and carrying a machete earlier in the day.  

The man agreed to go to the hospital for a medical evaluation.
