A woman who wanted her father to go to the hospital was jailed on a pair of charges following complaints made to the Polk County Police on Monday evening, May 24.
Cassandra Desaray Pankey, 34, of a McKibben Street address in Cedartown, was taken into custody by Polk County Police and charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct after they were originally called out over a complaint of a suspect who had a knife.
They found Pankey on a concrete walkway outside a McKibben Street residence and told police she had started arguing with her father over her desire for him to go to the hospital due to his feet swelling.
He didn’t want to go, and the argument ensued from there.
Police took Pankey into custody after they learned she had been “criminally trespassed” from the residence and several others surrounding.
Witnesses told police that after Pankey and her father began to argue, she came out into the yard and began to “scream and overreact” and other witnesses said she threatened to “cut the people around her.”
No one involved said she actually pulled out a knife on anyone, nor was one found while being searched and taken into custody.
Pankey remained in jail as of this posting on a $2,800 bond on the pair of misdemeanor charges.
