Authorities say an assault on a Bryan County Sheriff's Deputy led to the minor injuries of three law officers and arrests of five people April 14.

Bryan County Sheriff's Department investigator Mark Crowe said the incident came as he was assisting other deputies with a call reportedly involving a fight among at least 10 people and guns and knives on Charles Shuman Road near the intersection with Beulah Church Road.

He said he was leaving the area because the argument turned out to be only between two people and there were no knives and guns. But Crowe said that as he was leaving he thought he recognized a man by a ditch with a cell phone and rolled his window down to "cut up" with him.

That allegedly led to a fight between Crowe and the man, whom authorities haven't named. The fight reportedly escalated to include other another deputy and a Pembroke police officer, who used his tazer on the man.

According to interim Pembroke Police Chief Stacy Strickland, officer Cleve White arrived, saw someone on Crowe in the ditch and tased the guy.

"Pembroke responded to help an officer in need," Strickland said.

None of the injured officers were taken to the hospital. The man was taken by ambulance to the hospital, authorities said, but attempts to find out his injuries were unsuccessful. He faces charges, according to police.

The fight reportedly led to the arrest of four others during the incident, including Henrietta Williams, 81, Beulah Church Road, who was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

Laquana Benjiman, 29, Wade Price Road, Statesboro, is charged with felony terroristic threats and acts; Brian Jamar Williams, 25, Beulah Church Road, is charged with misdemeanor obstruction of a police officer; and, Dwayne Jermaine Williams, 31, Beulah Church Road, charges pending.
