A Hammon man was arrested and charged recently after being found with illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, and a firearm with the I.D. number defaced.
According to a probable cause affidavit, 34-year-old Everson Jamelle Zotigh was arrested on the morning of March 31 in a home in Hammon near the Hammon Public Schools.
The incident caused the school to close for the day.
The affidavit showed that Roger Mills County Deputies were dispatched to the Hammon area after a report of a man pulling a knife on a Hammon homeowner in Custer County. The court document named Zotigh as the suspect, and said that he left the scene after the homeowner drew a pistol and chased him away.
