ssharpJELLICO, TN (WLAF)- Campbell County Sheriff’s Deputy John Minor went to Duff on Saturday to answer a call about a man threatening harm.

The victim told Minor that Rose had come to his residence during the night and banged on the door. He further alleged that Rose had kept him up most of the night prior making noise across the street at the abandoned house.
When the victim told Rose he couldn’t stay at the abandoned house, the man allegedly got angry and began cussing him, according to a report from the sheriff’s department.
