Fugitive squad blocks off streets after domestic dispute

Forest Park police and the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office’s fugitive squad blocked off several streets Wednesday afternoon near the intersection of Phillips and Ewing drives in Forest Park.

Police said officers responded to a call about a domestic dispute and obtained warrants for a man’s arrest related to a domestic incident and other matters.

Officials were trying to determine if the man was actually at the house shortly after 4 p.m.

The public was urged to stay clear of the area.
