A shocking incident took place on Thursday night when a 29-year-old man, who reportedly lists “city streets” as his address, allegedly attacked both of his parents at their home. The suspect, identified as Zachary Earl Sherrill, was swiftly arrested and charged with two felony counts of third-degree domestic battery, each carrying a possible sentence of up to six years in prison.
Sherrill had prior legal troubles and was on probation at the time of the incident. Court records reveal that he had already pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges, including third-degree domestic battery, first-degree terroristic threatening, and two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. As a result, he had been sentenced to five years’ supervised probation.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the authorities received a distress call from the residence on Illinois Street, reporting that a known suspect was attempting to harm the residents. Officer 1st Class Jonathan Israel promptly arrived at the scene and separated Sherrill from the others to investigate the situation further.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Sherrill had engaged in a physical altercation with both of his parents. The father recounted that Sherrill had arrived at the house and immediately began arguing with his mother. When the father intervened to protect his wife, Sherrill allegedly cornered him against the kitchen counter and repeatedly struck him on the back of the head.
As for the mother, she attempted to intervene but was met with aggression from Sherrill. He reportedly pushed her into a chair, pulled her hair, and landed multiple punches to her head. The father sustained a visible swelling on the back of his head, while the mother had a 2-inch bleeding abrasion on her elbow. Despite their injuries, both victims declined medical treatment.
Considering Sherrill’s past conviction for a similar offense, the authorities detained him for this second offense. The incident serves as a disheartening reminder of the consequences that can arise from domestic violence, emphasizing the importance of addressing such issues within our society.
