FAMILY SQUABBLE TURNS VIOLENT - Gun And Knife Involved In Fight

(12/06/2002)
By Bob Weaver

A conflict involving 27-year-old George Nick Parsons and his brother-in-law Jeremy Collins, in his 20's, turned violent early Thursday morning at a mobile home on Sugar Camp Road, according to Sheriff Allen Parsons.

"It was a very serious and dangerous situation," said Sheriff Parsons.

A 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun discharged when a third party took the weapon from the combatants. Jeremy Collins was taken to Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center with an injury to his hand. Both men may have been injured by stab wounds from a knife.

Emergency services responded just off Yellow Creek Road about 2:30 a.m. Calhoun Sheriff Allen Parsons and Deputy Carl Ballengee went to the scene after Calhoun EMS indicated "shots had been fired."

Calhoun EMS called for a second ambulance, after they transported Collins to Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center at 3:22 a.m. Nick Parsons remained in the mobile home with his wife Sherry and "some children," as law enforcement arrived.

Trooper Fred Hammack responded from Roane County over icy highways. Hammack had Nick Parsons in custody at the State Police barracks at 5:00 a.m., and Lori Fleagle of the local domestic violence team was summoned to a residence.

The investigation was continuing yesterday.
