Fayette County sheriff's deputies diffused an altercation Wednesday

afternoon between a woman's boyfriend and her parents that began

in Clayton County, police said.

Deputies were summoned to the intersection of Ga. highways 85 and 314

in Fayetteville at 1 p.m. after the parents had blocked in a vehicle

containing the 21-year-old woman, her boyfriend and another man, according

to the Clayton County Police Department.

An eyewitness said several vehicles involved in the incident sped through

the BP gas station near the intersection, but there was no pursuit by

either Clayton or Fayette officers, said Det. Hank Derbyshire of the

Clayton County Police Department.

The woman, Karma Rashaun Cale, 21, willingly left a residence on Canvasback

Court in Jonesboro with the two men after one of them pulled a gun on

her father during the altercation, police said. The woman's parents,

fearing for her safety, then followed the car into Fayetteville, police

said.

The boyfriend, identified as Mardae Weaver, 22, of Nashville, Tenn.,

was arrested for making terroristic threats, police said. The other man

in the vehicle, Vance Bradshaw, 24, also of Nashville, was arrested for

aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission

of a crime, police said.

The incident began at a residence on Canvasback Court in Jonesboro where

the daughter and her parents had been staying with another family, police

said. The daughter had called Weaver before the altercation, asking him

to come and get her, police said.
