From Page 2A on a Law Enforcement Officer w/serious injury, Felony Assault on Emergency Personnel, and Felony Obstructing Justice, and he was served with the domestic violence protective order, however, he continues to receive treatment at Atrium- Cleveland. As such, he has not received a bond or been booked into the detention center yet.

Sheriff Alan Norman said, “Our agency serves, on average, well over 70 new domestic violence protective orders per month. Serving these protective orders has real potential for violence. In this case, the man was only going to be evicted from the residence until he had his day in court, due to allegations of domestic violence.

I am proud of our deputies for creating space and using time to try to peacefully resolve this situation. Despite their best efforts, this man showed his intent to not cooperate through these extreme measures, and they risked their own lives to save him and bring him to justice.”
