On Sunday, October 9, 2016, an early morning bar encounter between two groups of individuals that knew each other led to text messaging exchanges between the parties. The parties met in a front yard on Sage Road, off of Grape Creek Road, to confront each other and settle differences.   Tommy Lee McCutchen and Matthew Brown are residents of the Sage Road address.
