Donald C. Sharp threatened to burn down his ex-girlfriend’s residence, according to what Sharp’s former girlfriend told sheriff’s deputies Sept. 19. On that Friday night, neighbors extin- guished a fire in a house trailer and then reported the fire to the Sheriff’s Office, an earlier sheriff’s report stated. At that time authorities asked the public for help in locating Sharp. From an anonymous tip at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, deputies arrived at a Turner Road residence in search of Sharp, the Sheriff’s Office stated. On foot, Sharp then ran from deputies Wednesday evening. When deputies arrested Sharp they found a fixed-blade knife and a meth pipe in his possession, the report stated. The Sheriff’s Office thanks, “members of the public who provided deputies information which eventually led to the arrest in this inves- tigation.”
