According to an affidavit by Renee Horton, assistant investigator for the Glynn County Public Defender's Office, that was filed Wednesday in Glynn County Superior Court, Horton and assistant public defender Ashley Wood had attempted to serve a subpoena on Antonio's father, Louis Santiago, at his apartment, across Union Street from where West resides.
After Santiago refused to come to the door, Horton and Wood walked over to serve a subpoena on West, the affidavit states. When she did not answer, Horton and Wood noticed Santiago outside on the sidewalk in front of his apartment, talking to someone on the speaker of a cell phone, Horton's written statement alleges.
As they approached Santiago in a second attempt to serve the subpoena, Horton and Wood overheard a woman's voice speaking loudly to Santiago, the affidavit states.
As Horton and Wood approached West's door a second time and rang the doorbell, they heard West inside.
"I then heard a voice I recognized as Sherry West talking very loud," the affidavit says. "I heard Sherry West yell at Louis Santiago, 'Just tell them you don't know anything,'" the affidavit states.
Gough said Horton attempted to file a police report with the Brunswick Police Department following the subpoena refusal, but could not. "She spoke with several people, including an officer and a detective, and they told her to try back tomorrow," Gough said.
