The SWAT team from the Hamilton County’s Sheriff’s Office was called to the scene of a domestic disturbance today.
Ricky Rankin was arrested by the SWAT team and charged with domestic aggravated assault, sheriff’s spokeswoman Janice Atkinson said in a new release. He was taken to the Hamilton County Jail, she said.
About 11:45 a.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to a call at 1341 McCallie Ferry Road, she said. When deputies arrived on the scene, they found a man and a woman in the driveway, she said, but the man went back into the house.
The female victim told deputies that her boyfriend had cut her and shot at her, Ms. Atkinson said. The SWAT team was called at that point, she said.
It took several hours before the SWAT team was able to enter the home and arrest Mr. Rankin, Ms. Atkinson said.
