<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>At 3:52 P.M. Wednesday, Martin County dispatchers received a 911 call from a female who said a male was banging on the front door of her home and refusing to leave.&nbsp; Fearing for her safety, the female took her four year old child and left out of a back door of the residence, going to a neighbor&rsquo;s home without the male knowing.</p>

<p>Trooper Ross Johnson and Loogootee Police Chief Kelly Rayhill arrived at the home moments later.&nbsp; The male, 33 year old Derek Worland of Washington, appeared to officers to be extremely intoxicated.&nbsp; Officers learned that Worland had driven from Washington to Loogootee and had been at the residence for about 15 minutes prior to their arrival.&nbsp;</p>
