Wood County Sheriff’s Department activities for the past week included:

Dec. 13 – A report of an assault by a mother of her 11-year-old son at a residence on County Road 1326 in the Quitman area is under investigation. A man reported his estranged wife kicked open the door to his house, picked up their son by his arms and threw him on the floor and took his cellphone. The boy said his head hit the edge of a bed during the incident but the responding deputy wasn’t able to observe any marks on the boy’s head.

Dec. 11 – Several items were reported as missing from a woman’s home on Highway 37 in Quitman. THE woman said after a co-worker and her boyfriend stayed at her house while she was gone, an Xbox 360, gun and money were missing. The coworker and her boyfriend said they didn’t take the items and the matter is being investigated.

Dec. 9 – Deputy Melissa Pollard and Sergeant Donivan South arrested Glen Lee McGill, 53, Quitman on an out-of-county warrant as well as an assault charge. His estranged wife reported he showed up at her house wanting to stay and then punched her in the mouth. He was found hiding at a neighbor’s house in a bathtub.

Deputies were called to a residence on CR 2320 where a woman and her boyfriend were arguing. She said they were wrestling over a cellphone when he struck her on the side of her face. There was no evidence, another person at the scene couldn’t corroborate the report and the boyfriend said he just wanted to gather his things and live so the case is closed.

Information about missing cattle was reported to the Southwest Cattleman’s Association. The cow and a bull were located a short time later.

An Alba woman reported that while she was away for Thanksgiving, she had someone pick up her mail. However, she did not receive her medicine that was to be delivered, and the mail carrier told her it had been delivered to her mailbox in November.

Dec. 8 – A resident of Lake Fork Apartments on Highway 154 near Yantis reported her wallet was stolen from her home between 8 and 8:30 a.m. There was no sign of forced entry. IDs, a debit card and cash were stolen. She did find one of her cards on the side of the road.

Dec. 7 – A woman reports she was bitten by a dog after she and her brother got into an altercation with another woman at a nearby residence on Thanksgiving Day. She reported she was bitten on the hand by the dog during the melee. The responding deputy, Jeremy Ragsdale, found three dogs, all of which appeared to be healthy but could not make contact with their owner.
