Two people were arrested following a domestic dispute yesterday in the Deer Run subdivision in Roanoke Rapids, according to the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office.

Lt. Bobby Martin said in a news release deputies Chris High and Emerson Carroll were dispatched to an assault call.

When the deputies arrived they found Travis Johnson, 35, and Samantha James, 25, in the yard. According to the investigation by the deputies, an argument between James and Johnson ended in a physical assault by both parties.

The deputies noticed scratches on the faces of both individuals and a vehicle owned by Johnson had been damaged by the tires being cut.

Martin said James and Johnson both admitted they assaulted and caused injuries to each other.

Carroll arrested Johnson and charged him with assault on a female.

Johnson was placed in the Halifax County Jail under no bond due to state domestic violence laws.

High charged James with assault and injury to personal property. James also was placed in the Halifax County Jail under no bond due to the domestic violence law.

The injuries the two received from each other were minor and medical attention was not needed. 

Court dates were not available at release time.
