Shortly after 8:00 p.m. on Monday evening, MPD officers responded to a residential address in the 2000 block of E. Washington Ave. for a physical disturbance.

Upon arrival, officers learned that two residents of the upper level of this address share a domestic relationship, and had gotten into a physical disturbance. The suspect, Otis B. Adams, pushed the victim around and into a wall.

A resident from the lower level who was not involved in the initial incident, Frederick S. Burton, came upstairs into the residence and engaged in the disturbance. Burton used a hammer to strike the same victim multiple times causing injury.

Officers arrived and arrested Adams on charges of Domestic Disorderly Conduct, Obstructing, and a parole violation.

Burton was arrested on charges of 2nd Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, and Disorderly Conduct while Armed.
