Stafford, VA – Early Thursday morning, a Stafford man was arrested following a violent dispute with his roommate over rent disagreements.

Deputies K.P. Hall and M.A. Holub were on Shaw Court at around 3:02 a.m. when they heard loud noises and someone yelling for help from a residence. The deputies responded promptly to the scene to investigate the disturbance.

Inside the residence, the deputies found two men, including Mychal Tamillow, who was reportedly intoxicated. Tamillow confronted his roommate regarding rent issues, which escalated when he broke down a bedroom door, assaulted the roommate, and demanded money. The confrontation was halted when the deputies intervened.

Tamillow faces charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, attempted robbery, and assault and battery. He is being held at Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $5,000 secured bond.
