2 Arrests
July 14 2020
Tuesday evening a bunch of us were glued to the 911 scanner traffic. At first it sounded like some one was being chased. Just a few seconds later, the tone changed to feel like, someone was missing, lost, or dead and all the Badges in the County were out looking for the female.
The action was along Route 4 heading to Ivydale but close to that logging site across from the old Baird Jewelry store.
Well after dark, the female had been nabbed and the chatter petered off.
Charles Richard Schoonover calls (called) So Charleston home. Born August 17, 1983, the guy's day started off with his significant other missing in action but leaving behind a child. They were using a make shift camping set up near the river.
We have the criminal complaint on Mr Schoonover which was penned by returning Black Shirt, Tyler Caruthers. The guy is charged with battery and obstructing an officer on July 14th.
From that complaint: Caruthers responded to a call on a missing female. Contact was made with Charles Richard Schoonover who was the last person to see the female. While at the scene, where the female's car was located, Caruthers told Schoonover that he would not be able to retrieve his belongings from the car until it was inventoried for anything that may provide info on the female's where abouts.
Schoonover became angry and began cursing the Badge and demanded to be allowed in the vehicle.
Caruthers attempted to calm Schoonover down but, that didn't happen
Schoonover became combative in nature and took an aggressive stance toward Caruthers while balling up his fist.
Caruthers tried to take Schoonover into custody however,, Schoonover grabbed the Officer by the neck. A struggle occurred resulting in the Badge and Schoonover on the ground with Schoonover refusing to be hand cuffed.
Schoonover was ultimately hand cuffed and taken into custody.
Our guess is the Child Protective Services was called into action and the child was taken away.
Later Tuesday evening Haley Nicole Hawkins was found and taken into custody and charged with child neglect with risk of injury. Ms Hawkins (DOB 5-9-2002), 5' 1" tall and weighing 110 pounds, remains lodged in CRJ as of this writing.
When we checked at the Courthouse Wednesday, around noon, the criminal complaint on Hawkins was not available to the public.
Being a Badge can be tough business even in Clayberry.
