February 9, 2023 10:20 a.m.

Two people were jailed following a disturbance in Elkton Tuesday night.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said at 9:00 p.m. a deputy responded to the 800 block of Azalea Drive. An investigation determined that a woman had pepper sprayed and punched a man in the face, leaving injuries. The woman claimed that the man elbowed her in the face. Both people wanted to press charges against the other. The man had allegedly threated another person at the address, with whom he had a no contact release agreement with.

Records showed the man had not registered his current address and had not been compliant with the sex registry since 2018. 40-year old Johnathen Enoch of Elkton was charged with fourth-degree assault, failing to register as a sex offender and for violation of a release agreement. He was detained on $11,000 bail.

The woman, 40-year old Crystal Yarger of Cottage Grove, was charged with fourth-degree assault, unlawful use of mace and harassment. She was detained without bail.
