Man arrested on assault, gun charges

A Live Oak man was arrested Tuesday on charges of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon, domestic assault and battery-domestic violence, jail records show.

At about 10:45 p.m. Suwannee County Sheriff's Deputy Wayne Kelly was dispatched to a residence on 120th Street in reference to a disturbance, sheriff’s reports indicate. While en route he was advised a juvenile had walked to a neighbor's home requesting a ride and in need of help.

The juvenile reportedly told Kelly that Sam Douglas Campbell, 48, of 13395 120th Street had come home intoxicated and begun to argue with another subject. The juvenile said that Campbell hit the other person in the arm and threatened her, at which point she left the home, reports indicate.

Upon arrival at the residence Kelly made contact with Campbell, who said he had not hit the victim and that the juvenile had been told to leave and not to return. However, the victim did later confirm the juvenile’s claim that Campbell hit her in the arm, reports show.

Guns and ammunition were reportedly found in the residence near the subjects' bed.

Campbell was arrested and transported to the Suwannee County Jail. He was later released on a $9,000 bond.
