East Ridge Police on Wednesday arrested Kedarrian Higgins after a SWAT team was called out.

Police responded to 3211 Blackhawk Trail on a report of an aggravated domestic assault. Edlicia Oattes reported that her son had attempted to strike her in the face with a pipe, then physically assaulted her.
