A man is in Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office custody after a likely domestic dispute ended in a confrontation.
LCSO Capt. Ryan Rickert said 23-year-old James Roy Cosby picked up his child and another child that was not related to him at a residence Friday afternoon. Rickert said a confrontation arose because Cosby was not allowed to take the child that wasn’t his.
LCSO arrested Cosby on Johnnie Road the same day. He’s being held in Lowndes County Adult Detention Center on $20,000 bond.
Rickert said the situation, and charge, shouldn’t be a cause for concern to the wider community.
“We don’t have a random kidnapper in the neighborhood picking up people’s kids,” he said.
