The drama began unfolding about noon Wednesday when a Mohave County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to serve an order of protection on 39-year-old Ronald Chipman at his home in the 3300 block of Pocahontas Drive. “Chipman reportedly pointed a weapon at the deputy and additional law enforcement were called for assistance,” said Bullhead City police spokeswoman Emily…
