Carl E. Brawdy, 34, of 6955 W. CR 50 S., Petersburg, was arrested by Pike County Deputy Mike Willis. Willis said central dispatch got a call from Brawdy's family saying Carl had attacked his father, and then fought with his brother and mother, before threatening to burn the house down with them in it. Deputy Willis said when he ar- rived at the residence, he was told Carl had taken off walking along CR 50 S. Willis said he and Peters- burg Police Cpl. Kyle Mills searched the area but didn't locate him. Wil- lis went back to the residence and talked with Carl's brother, Joshua. He said Carl started arguing with his parents, Carl A. and Carolyn, and that escalated into a fight with Carl hitting his father in the throat. Then Joshua jumped on Carl to get him off of his father. He said it took all three of them to get Carl out of the house, but during that fight, Carl hit him multiple times in the head and hit his mother, Carolyn. About an hour later, Willis said he saw Carl walking in a field about a half-mile from the residence and stopped to talk with him. Willis said he placed Carl in handcuffs and told him he was being detained. He also noticed bloody places on Carl's fore- head. Carl denied being in an alter- cation with his family and claimed the spots on his head were just a boil. Deputy Willis said he talked again with the Brawdy family and they re- quested charges be filed against Carl. Willis said a check of Carl's record showed he had a previous conviction of battery on October 3, 2017, which enhanced this charge from a misde- meanor to a felony charge. Carl was transported to the Pike County Jail. net edition yeah, it's that fast! Z M www.PressDispatch.net/Subscribe It's The Press-Dispatch. No matter where you live.
