Upon arrival the male suspect had left the area and investigation and evidence supports the reported assault. The male suspect later arrived in Chillicothe to speak with the deputy.

Mr. Jeffers has since been charged in Livingston County Associate Court for alleged Domestic Assault 3rd degree and remains incarcerated in Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail in lieu of $5,000 bond.

The sheriff’s office has responded to several calls recently to either check the well-being or intervening in possible suicidal intent calls. These people have been helped with area resources and additional intervention when necessary. Reminder the holiday season is not always fun and joyful for everyone, some suffer from increased emotions and depression this time of year. Do not hesitate to call for assistance if you suspect someone is suffering or considering self-harm.
