Billy Carl Chapman was indicted on one charge of attempting to take weapon from a peace officer and one count of Burglary of a Habitation. Chapman, 27, was arrested in April after an altercation with Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputies. Chapman’s mother made a 911 call to report that her son was “tearing up the house.” When law enforcement arrived on the scene, Chapman verbally requested for the deputies to hand over their weapons. Chapman then charged the deputies and attempted to take their guns, wrapping his arms around one deputy. Cpl. Todd Evans then deployed a taser that struck Chapman in the chest and dropped him to the ground. Chapman was then placed in handcuffs and escorted to a patrol unit. In May, a call to a disturbance at a residence on CR 4131 in the Cumby area was answered by Cumby police and Hopkins County Sheriff’s officers. At the residence, they found and arrested Chapman highly intoxicated. According to the residents who called in the complaint, Chapman had kicked in the kitchen door and was standing in their kitchen when they first encountered him. The resident fired a weapon at the floor to scare Chapman away. It didn’t work. Instead, Chapman fought with the resident. According to the resident, Chapman struck him and stole two bottles of medication from the residence and started walking away. When arrested and transported to Hopkins County jail, Chapman was uncooperative and threatened the arresting officer.
