Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey announced the arrest of a man from Rockford after deputies received a call of shots fired on Saturday morning.
58 year-old Thurman Whitted Junior and his girlfriend were having a domestic dispute. Whitted entered a bedroom of the home and fired one round from a handgun. The girlfriend and her adult daughter then fled the residence and called the Sheriff’s Office.
The Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team was called- and Whitted surrendered about 4 hours after the initial call came in.
Formal charges will be filed once the prosecutor’s office has the opportunity to review the case.
