A Cannon County man ended up in jail last Friday due to a domestic assault. Cannon County Sheriffs Deputy Tommy Barker was dispatched to a call to a residence on Sycamore Road. According to police reports, upon arrival he noticed the front door was standing wide open, all electricity had been shut off and Mr. Philip Adams was laying on the couch in the living room which was surrounded by other furniture that had been turned over. When Mr. Adams was asked why the house was in disarray, he responded that he and his wife had lost the house phone and was trying to find it. Adams then stated that his wife and daughter left the residence and he had just thrown the TV in the creek. Deputy Barker left the residence and met with Mrs. Lynn Adams at the Cannon County Jail. Ms. Adams then explained that when she had arrived home Mr. Adams had started yelling at her. After she had heard glass break Ms. Adams decided to leave the residence with her daughter until things cooled down. When Ms. Adams came back to get some clothes, Mr. Adams started yelling at her again. As Ms. Adams got in her car to leave, Mr. Adams jumped on the hood pounding the windshield with his fists. Ms Adams felt that Mr. Adams would hurt her or her daughter since he busted the window in the other vehicle the night before.
According to reports from the sheriff’s department, After Ms. Adams backed up the third time, Mr. Adams jumped off the hood and tried to open her door, he started yelling that he was Lucifer and the children would have to pay. At that point Ms. Adams left the residence and contacted dispatch.
Mr. Adams was then taken into custody and transported to the Cannon County Jail on a domestic assault charge.
