At the scene, Deputy Cash spoke to the female caller who identified herself as the mother of the male inside the home, named Nikolas Dotson. The mother said her son had tried to start a fight with her other son, Thomas Dotson. The mother told Deputy Cash she wanted Nikolas to be removed from the property. Unfortunately for the mother, Nikolas legally lives with her and therefore could not be removed from his residence. Deputy Cash advised the mother she would need to go through the process of filing for eviction because as the situation currently stands, the son has as much right to the home as his mother. At this time, Nikolas decided to exit the residence and speak with Deputy Cash. He explained that his mother and his brother, Thomas, were trying to get him kicked out of the house and were antagonizing him to anger. Nikolas also stated his mother, and brother came inside the residence and tried to break his door down. Deputy Cash then advised all parties that if they were going to antagonize one another in their private rooms, then they needed to record the incidents and not feed into the drama of the others. All parties agreed and retired to their separate corners.

Melton arrived on scene to offer backup, standing by with Nikolas, while Deputy Cash spoke with Thomas and his mother inside of the home. The mother stated she was sitting in the kitchen when she heard Nikolas in his private room possibly throwing items around. Acting quickly, she began recording Nikolas as previously instructed by Deputy Cash to do. Nikolas came out of his room to discover his mother was recording him and grew irate. Next, Nikolas allegedly pushed his mother in an attempt to take her phone away from her. It was then, according to the mother, that Thomas jumped in and the two began brawling on the kitchen floor. Thomas told Deputy Cash he saw Nikolas over his mother and decided to defend her. He showed Deputy Cash a cut leg and bruised wrist, injuries he claimed were from the altercation. Both brothers wished to press charges against the other, however, only Nickolas Dotson was transported to the magistrate’s office. All parties involved subsequently arrived, and all spoke with the magistrate, who found probable cause for simple assault against both Nikolas and Thomas Dotson. The formerly dueling Dotson brothers were remanded to the Anson County Jail without incident. Case closed by arrest.
