By Times staff reports Zephyrhills police employees in spatZEPHYRHILLS -- Pasco County sheriff's deputies investigated an argument between a Zephyrhills police sergeant and his girlfriend this week, but no charges were filed. According to sheriff's reports, deputies responded Wednesday to investigate a dispute that occurred about 7 p.m. Tuesday at the home of Zephyrhills Police Department clerk Cheryl Holmes, 42. During the investigation, Holmes said her boyfriend, Sgt. Micheal Ray Counsell, 48, came to her house and tore up some photographs. The two also pulled gold chains from each others' necks. Holmes said she did not want to press charges and said Counsell had been having trouble with some medication. The Sheriff's Office report states Holmes said it was not her intent to report the incident, but a Zephyrhills police employee told a Zephyrhills detective about it later, and the detective called the Sheriff's Office. Deputy Harmon Campbell concluded his investigation by determining there were no grounds for any charges.
