Sheriff’s Deputy attacked upon arrival at call web posted June 26, 2009 EDGEFIELD – An Edgefield County Sheriff’s Deputy received minor injuries after being attacked shortly after arriving to a call about a possible mental subject just before 9 pm Wednesday night. The deputy arrived and spotted the subject walking along the side of the road on the 300 block of Morgan Bussey Road and pulled over to speak with the subject. When the deputy exited his patrol vehicle and turned around, the subject was on a “dead run” towards him and attacked, trying to take the deputy’s pistol from its holster. As the deputy and the man struggled they fell to the ground while the man continued to try to wrestle the gun free, the deputy kept one hand on his sidearm while trying to subdue the subject. A second deputy arrived on the scene a short time later and made use of the ASP Baton, striking the man several times in an effort to make him stop the attack to no avail. The second deputy then deployed a Taser, striking the subject in the back which resulted in the man releasing the deputy from his grasp and he was taken into custody. The deputy and the mental patient both arrived at the Edgefield County Hospital where their injuries were photographed and treated. As luck would have it, the second deputy responding was not supposed to be on duty and worked over to help handle the number of calls, including the call for mutual aid from Greenwood County for a manhunt of a suspected sexual assault suspect near the Greenwood and Edgefield County line on Highway 25. Fortunately, neither the deputy or the subject suffered serious injuries in what could have quickly turned into a life nor death situation had the extra deputy not chosen to stay on duty to aid in answering calls. © Copyright 2009
