Clayton Cochran was arrested on multiple charges including aggravated domestic assault following an incident at a home on McMinnville Highway.
Deputies Joshua Thomas and Randy Wildes were dispatched to the home where they were met by a woman who said, “He tried to kill me.” She told the deputies that her attacker had ran int the nearby woods after the assault.
Thomas and Wildes went into the woods and announced who they were and asked Cochran to come out.
“After several attempts I heard a male voice say, 'who is it?' I announced again, 'Sheriff's Department come out,” Thomas said.
The suspect said he needed a light to see, so the deputies told him to “stay put and we would come to him,” the deputy said.
Officers discovered Cochran across the street hiding in a ditch. He tossed away a knife and got on his knees with his hands on his head.
After detaining Cochran, the deputies began to explore the crime scene beginning with the woman's car. All four tires were slashed with a knife blade still stuck in the rear tire of the driver's side. The driver's side window was pulled off track and was hanging from the door frame. The dash was broken and torn from its mountings. The rear view mirror was pulled off and the windshield had been broken by a small barbecue grill which had dumped ashes all inside the vehicle.
The woman said Cochran strangled her until nearly lost consciousness, but she managed to escape outside where she hid in a creek bed.
Cochran told the officers he couldn't remember what happened. “Everything gets blurry.”
He was charged with aggravated assault (domestic) and vandalism over $1,000 for the damage to the car.
