A Tennessee man was arrested following a domestic disturbance report.
About 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Rockville Police responded to the 800 block of North Lincoln Road for a reported domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, officers learned that the suspect had battered multiple individuals before fleeing on foot.
A short time later, officers located the suspect, Paul Sexton, 35, of Knoxville, Tennessee, running through an open field west of the residence.
