A man was arrested Monday, July 28, after allegedly forcing his way into a Lincoln County residence while attempting to evade law enforcement, according to an arrest citation from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies were searching the Shea Villa Court area for a suspect when an officer reportedly saw a man standing in the backyard of a nearby home. After knocking on the front door and hearing yelling inside, the officer forced entry into the residence, the citation states.

Inside, an elderly man reportedly emerged from a hallway with his hands raised, while another man allegedly attempted to climb out a bedroom window in an effort to escape.

The man, identified by deputies as 33-year-old Tai Doram, was taken into custody at the scene.

According to the citation, the homeowner told officers he answered a knock at the door and was pushed back into the home by an unknown man. The victim reportedly sustained an injury to his left arm during the incident.

Doram faces multiple charges, including third-degree burglary, first-degree criminal abuse, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, and resisting arrest.
