A Cassville man was arrested last week after assaulting another man in his home. According to the affidavit of probable cause by Barry County Sheriff’s Deputy Cody Stephens. Herman Tilford, 53, pushed the victim and held him against the wall.
The incident happened at Tilford’s home on State Highway 37 on Saturday, April 23, around 11:30 p.m. Tilford attacked another man who also lives in the home. When deputies arrived, Tilford was not questioned due to intoxication, according to Stephens.
Wilford was charged with domestic assault in the second degree and held on a $25,000 cash-only bond, which he has since posted and been released from the Barry County Jail.
This is the second incident involving Tilford in the last two months. On March 7, Tilford was involved in property damage at a property on East County Road in Washburn.
According to the affidavit of probable cause by Barry County Deputy Terry Meek, Tilford was found crawling on the property covered in blood. Tilford had allegedly broken windows out of the building on the property as well as breaking out windows, windshield and turn signal assembly of a 2002 E-150 Ford van.

The damage to the building and van were estimated to be around $4,500, and Tilford was charged with tampering in the first degree and property damage in the first degree. A $10,000 cash or crop. surety was issued for those crimes.
