Columbus police called in reinforcements on Wednesday to arrest a felony cyberstalking suspect.
Officers were searching for 34-year-old Damion Hampton, of 2112 14th Ave. N., Apt. B, on the cyberstalking warrant. They located him at about 3 p.m., but a department press release said Hampton ran into his apartment and refused to come out. The CPD SWAT team, with assistance from Lowndes County sheriff’s deputies, eventually arrested him.
Hampton also faces charges of possession of a weapon by a felon and possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine). The suspect is in Lowndes County Adult Detention Facility awaiting a bond hearing.
