Garden County Sheriff's Office
On 9-23-23, around 7pm, a Deputy with the Garden County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call from a male stating that Cowboy Tobacco was drunk and had tried to snap the caller’s neck.
When the Deputy arrived on scene and entered the residence, he observed Tobacco laying on his stomach with a hammer in his right hand. The Deputy instructed Tobacco to let go of the hammer and Tobacco complied. Once Tobacco was seated on a couch, he started becoming emotional, asking the Deputy what was going on and what he did.
When the Deputy told Tobacco about the call received, Tobacco became angry, yelling and threatening the Reporting Party. Tobacco was removed from the residence in order to try to calm him down and get his side of the story, but Tobacco began getting even more aggressive and continued yelling, stepping toward the residence and breaking a window with his fist.
Tobacco was then placed into custody and taken to the Emergency Room to treat the cuts on his hand sustained while breaking the window. While in the ER, Tobacco was very aggressive toward medical staff and would not follow Deputies’ commands. Tobacco intentionally made a fist and would wave his hand in a flicking motion toward the Deputy, flinging blood on him.
Tobacco had to be physically held down for medical attention and received stitches. He was eventually transported to the Cheyenne County Jail. Tobacco has been charged with Terroristic Threats, Assault Peace Officer with Bodily Fluids, Criminal Mischief, Assault 3rd Degree and Disturbing the Peace.
