CDVHAN, Resisting Arrest

A man ended up in jail after he allegedly damaged the door of a pregnant woman’s home, then assaulted her and then resisted a deputy’s attempt to arrest him.

Solomon Maurice Gore, 21, 134 Thomas Ranch Road, Union, was charged by the sheriff’s office with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature and resisting arrest.

The incident report stated a deputy was dispatched at approximately 1:45 p.m. Saturday to 202 Railroad St. in Union in reference to a possible burglary.

The deputy left the victim’s residence at 2:07 p.m. but was dispatched there again at 2:54 p.m. in reference to a domestic dispute.

The victim told the deputy that she and Gore had gotten into an argument because she would not take him somewhere in her car. She said that during the argument he admitted to her that he’d kicked in her door. The woman said that Gore assaulted her during the argument, causing a scratch that was still bleeding and some redness and swelling to the left side of her face.

The victim said Gore also threatened her several times during the argument and at one point broke a broom handle over the back windshield of her car. She said all this occurred in front of her child.

Based on the victim’s statement and the physical evidence, the fact that Gore was living with the victim who is pregnant with his child, and the difference in size between Gore and the victim, the report states the deputy determined Gore should be charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature.

When the deputy tried to arrest Gore, he started tried to pull away and struggled with the officer.

The struggle continued off the front porch and into the yard and then into the road. During the struggle the deputy repeatedly told Gore to stop resisting. He also called for backup.

Once in the road, Gore tried to run, but the deputy pulled out his Taser and ordered him to stop. He also refused to obey the deputy’s repeated commands for him to get on the ground and then took a step toward the deputy.

The deputy fired the Taser probes into Gore’s upper torso, at which point Gore fell to the ground and began doing what the deputy told him to do.

Gore would not allow the responding deputy or another deputy at the scene to remove the Taser prongs from his chest, even though the report stated both are certified to do so. Instead, he asked EMS remove them and check him out.

Deputies called EMS to the scene and the responding team removed the probes from Gore’s chest, checked him out and determined he could be transported to jail. Gore was then transported to jail where deputies advised the jailers that he been exposed to a Taser deployment. He was then booked and placed in a holding cell.
