Deputy assaulted in reported fight in courtroom


web posted December 10, 2009
EDGEFIELD – Edgefield County Deputies and Edgefield Police after a report of a fight breaking out in the Family Courtroom Wednesday around noon. At least three deputies were already on the scene providing security for the courtroom. As officers arrived two men were found screaming at each other in the “jury room”, one of which was already in custody.

According to information obtained on the scene, Robert West Jr. had been sentenced during a hearing in Family Court when an altercation ensued. Judge Neese ordered the courtroom cleared and family members were order to leave the courthouse, and at least one refused.

Deputies were able to separate the two bothers, but not before West resisted being taken into custody and reportedly bit one of the deputies on the left arm, breaking the skin.

West was then transported to the Edgefield County Detention Center where he is being held on a custody order awaiting formal charges. Warrants for resisting arrest and assault on a police officer are expected to be filed on Thursday in addition to Mr. West’s sentence he received in Family Court.

No information on the Family Court matter was released other than a statement that West had been sentenced.
