Martin, Tenn.–A domestic dispute escalated into a death threat and arrest for aggravated assault in Martin Thursday night.
An Obion County man was arrested by Martin Police Thursday evening after he allegedly pulled a gun on his ex-girlfriend’s father and threatened to kill him.
Assistant Police Chief Phillip Fuqua released the police report which states that Jacob Penn Conn, age 22, of Rives, was arrested at the Arch Tree Apartments on Mt. Pelia Road. According to the report, Conn refused to leave his ex-girlfriend’s apartment after they had broken up earlier in the day.
