On 03/11/2026, Columbia County deputies responded to a residence on Klamer Road in the Town of West Point while investigating a possible hit-and-run. Deputies attempted to contact a 37-year-old man believed connected to the investigation and spoke with him for about 45 minutes, including by phone when he told them he had a gun.
