Paulding County officials are asking for help from the public in finding a man who brandished a weapon at another during an April 6 incident, according to a social media posting from the Sheriff’s Office.

Per their page, the Sheriff’s Office is seeking a male suspect who was reported to have pulled out what authorities are reporting was an “‘AR-15″ style pistol” during an incident involving a homeowner being attacked on their own property by the suspect’s dog, and an ensuing dispute that escalated.

From the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page earlier this afternoon:

Do you know this individual? If so, please call the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division Tip Line at (770) 443-3047 or send us a message via the free Paulding Sheriff App.

The pictured individual brandished what appears to be an “AR-15” style pistol and threatened some residents of Electric Dam Road with the gun following an animal dispute. The dispute occurred after the individual’s dog nearly attacked the homeowners on their own property.

This incident occurred on April 6, 2022 at approximately 6:00 PM. If you know who this individual is, please send us a message or give us a call.
