Man Fights with Deputies near Summerville Motel

A 27-year-old man staying at the Summerville Motel in Gore, Georgia, got into an altercation with Sheriff’s Deputies around 3:00am recently – with the subject, identified as Steven Henry Brown calling 9-1-1 and saying he was being hypnotized.   When Deputies arrived at the motel, Brown was gone from the scene. 

Around that time a call came in from the High-Tech Gas Station where an employee said that a man dressed like a woman was walking around the lot looking in parked cars.  Deputies quickly made contact with Brown who was standing in the turn lane of John Jones Road. 

Brown told deputies he was with the C.I.A.   Deputies quickly determined that instead, Brown was under the influence of drugs, and when deputies attempted to do a field sobriety test, they say that Brown took a “fighting stance”.   This lead to deputies deploying a taser – and eventually pepper spray. 

As the struggle ensued, one deputy was kicked in the chest and punched.  Brown sustained a laceration over his eye during the altercation.

Deputies state that Brown was in possession of methamphetamine and a switchblade knife.  He was charged with both Misdemeanor – and Felony counts of the Obstruction of Officers, the Possession of a Knife During the Commission of a Crime, and Possession of Drug Related Objects.
