Attempt to retrieve medications ends in arrest

Patrick Donahue Barbour, 39, of 268 Apalachee Church Road, said he and his wife agreed to spend the night apart after a verbal argument earlier that evening. After leaving the residence, Barbour realized he needed his medications and a foot brace. Barbour left his keys at the home and, when he returned, could not get inside the residence.

After knocking on the door several times, Barbour called police for assistance. When police arrived, Barbour’s wife said she had been asleep and did not hear anyone knocking until the officer awakened her. The wife confirmed that the argument had been a verbal, not physical dispute.

During the course of interviewing both parties, the officer discovered that Barbour had a warrant for his arrest out of Dekalb County. Barbour was taking into custody on the outstanding warrant and transported to the Gwinnett County jail.
