Spalding County Sheriff Wendell Beams said Deputy Kimberly Barnett of the Uniform Patrol Division responded to a complaint of loud music from apartment C-2 at Northside Hills Apartments, 615 Northside Drive, Griffin, about 12:30 a.m., Wednesday.

After a brief encounter inside the apartment, Beam said, Barnett and other deputies conducted field interviews with the subjects inside.
