Sheriff Darrell Dix reports that on Sunday February 19th at 9:32 a.m. Spalding
County deputies responded to a domestic disturbance at 505 Barnesville Road.
Upon their arrival, they were informed that Kimberly Tullock had assaulted her
husband and was barricaded inside the residence with a possible firearm. Her
husband was located outside the residence.
Spalding deputies secured the area and called for assistance from the Special
Operations Unit (SOU). SOU members arrived and, along with investigators of the
Criminal Investigations Division, attempted to establish communications with
Tullock. After several hours, SOU members with the assistance of the Griffin Police
Department Special Response Team made entry into the home. Kimberly Tullock
was located and offered resistance. Team members were able to take her into
custody without further incident. No injuries were reported. Ms. Tullock was
transported by deputies to WellStar Spalding Regional Hospital for an evaluation.
Sheriff Dix would like to thank the Griffin Police Department’s Special Investigative
Unit and their Special Response Team for their assistance. Additional thanks goes
to members of the Spalding County Fire Department and to EMS personnel from
WellStar Spalding Regional.
