ARRESTS PENDING AFTER OFF-DUTY DEPUTY RUN DOWN |
| (11/08/2004) |
| State Police in Clay County have obtained warrants for two men for assaulting an off-duty Calhoun County deputy sheriff. Rodney Jarvis of Chloe has been charged with malicious assault, a felony, and leaving the scene of an accident where a person was injured. Robert James King of Clay has been charged with battery and brandishing. Deputy Ron Bandy was taken to Charleston Area Medical Center after he was attacked and run over by a car in front of Froggy's Lounge at Big Otter early last Friday morning. State Trooper B. G. Wriston said he and other officers responded to Big Otter following a complaint regarding a fight and shots being fired. Trooper Wriston said Bandy was trying to get Robert King in the passenger side of a Ford Mustang, when King turned and struck Bandy in the face. "Rodney Jarvis put the Mustang in reverse knocking Mr. Bandy to the ground," said the officer, after which he continued to back up running over Bandy's legs. The officer said Jarvis then drove the vehicle forward and ran over Bandy again. Jarvis, King and a third man identified as Robert Greathouse then left the scene, said Wriston. Jarvis and King reportedly returned to the scene driving a flatbed truck, with King "hanging out the side window, brandishing and firing a firearm." The men left the scene again, according to the report. Bandy has been released from Charleston Area Medical Center where he was treated for multiple injuries. State Police took statements from six individuals at the scene, in addition to Bandy. SEE earlier story on Hur Herald |
