A disagreement stemming from a child custody arrangement escalated into a physical altercation in the parking lot of Walmart earlier this month, resulting in the arrest of two individuals involved in the brawl.
According to a report released by the sheriff’s office this week, a Chattooga County Sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to the scene after reports of a fight broke out between two men, identified as Landon Daniel and Deoveon Price. While en route, the deputy learned that Deoveon had left the scene and was subsequently pulled over by officers from the Summerville Police Department. Upon arriving at Walmart, Deputy Kinnamont spoke with Landon Daniel and his mother, Dana Daniel, who provided insight into the events leading up to the fight.
According to Dana, tensions between Landon and Deoveon had been building due to ongoing issues concerning Shay Shadrick, the mother of Landon’s child. Earlier that day, Landon had dropped off the child at Deoveon’s residence, where Shay was staying, leading to a verbal confrontation between the two men. Following the argument, Landon left the residence but was pursued by Deoveon to the Walmart parking lot, where the physical altercation ensued. Landon confirmed to Deputy Kinnamont that his mother’s account of the incident was accurate, admitting that he and Deoveon fought in the parking lot.
Officers from Summerville Police Department corroborated this, stating that Deoveon acknowledged the fight as well. Deputy Kinnamont reviewed security camera footage from Walmart, which confirmed that Deoveon arrived shortly after Landon and approached him in the parking lot. The footage captured the moment Landon swung at Deoveon, who retaliated by pushing and swinging back.
Following the investigation, Deputy Kinnamont contacted Summerville police officers, requesting Deoveon’s transport to jail. Subsequently, both men were arrested for fighting in public and were transported to the Chattooga County Jail.
