A disturbance call west of Douglas after a 51-year-old wouldn’t calm down following the arrival of sheriff’s deputies, according to a press release from the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office.
The release states that on the evening of April 23, 2025, deputies responded to a disturbance call at a home located in the area of West Baker Highway and Willis Vickers Road. Upon arrival, law enforcement made contact with individuals at the residence and identified the suspect as 51-year-old Christopher M. Broome.
The release states that Broome became aggressive and confrontational and was damaging property at the home. Deputies observed a damaged door frame at the scene, which was attributed to Broome’s actions.
The release states that despite initial efforts to de-escalate the situation, Broome continued to behave in a disorderly manner. Following several failed attempts to calm him down, deputies placed Brome under arrest and transported to the Coffee County Jail where he currently remains.
