A Sheriff in Western North Carolina is accused of assaulting his former girlfriend's husband. Polk County Sheriff Tim Wright is at the center of the controversy.
His former girlfriend and her husband say that Wright used to live at the home, they now share and he still receives mail there after they asked him to stop.
The Sheriff's Office says Wright went there and began going through the mailbox. That's when Eric Volmich, the husband of the Sheriff's former longtime girlfriend confronted him. He claims Wright pushed him to the ground and caused injuries to his head.
The Sheriff's Office says, Wright defended himself after the interaction escalated into a fight. No criminal charges have been filed, as of the time of this report.
However, the family says that they are seeking an order of protection against the Sheriff. The NCBI is investigating the incident.
