Deputies with the Union County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a club on Maybinton Road just after midnight Sunday in response to a report of a fight. They were advised by dispatch, the person reporting the incident had said approximately 30 people were in the parking lot fighting. The caller also said they had heard people involved in the fight talking about getting guns.
Deputies were then notified by dispatch shots had been fired into the building through a window. Another window had been broken out and people were trying to get into the building through a locked door.
The Whitmire Police Department and the Union Public Safety Department were asked to assist the deputies.
The owner of the building told deputies he rented the building to a woman who was throwing a party for her son. The owner and the woman told deputies that 10 males from Carlisle were asked to leave for causing a disturbance. They said once outside the building the males began fighting. The owner said a short black male with dreadlocks was firing a gun. He and the woman said the males broke the windows and were kicking the door.
Deputies stopped a dark gray 2005 Acura and a gray 2000 Ford Crown Victoria from leaving the scene. A total of seven people were in the vehicles and when questioned by deputies said they didn’t know who was fighting or who had fired the shots.
The owner of the building, however, said the people in the Crown Victoria were part of the crowd causing the problem. When questioned again, one of the men in the car said he did have a gun in the glove box. He said the gun was registered to him and gave deputies permisson to conduct a search. The search turned up an unloaded black Highpoint 9mm Model C9 along with a clip containing eight bullets.
Deputies found another black Highpoint 9mm Model C9 on the side of the road approximately 10 yards behind the car. The gun was loaded with a round in the chamber and five in the clip. The weapon, along with two empty 9mm shell casings recovered from in front of the club, was seized for further investigation.
The man who owned the other gun said the one found on the side of the road was not his and he did not know who it belonged to.
The owner of the buiding and the woman who rented it could not identify any of the seven people in the vehicles as the shooter.
Deputies were then informed a woman was attacked by several people in the parking lot and she’d left the scene in a red car. The alleged victim could not be located that evening but the next day a woman reported she was the one assaulted in the parking lot. She said the Carlisle males walked into the club, were acknowledged by the DJ and became rowdy.
The woman said the fight began when a male from Whitmire bumped into one of the males from Carlisle. The Carlisle males were asked to leave and had to be forcibly removed from the building. She said that while trying to break up the fight she became locked outside the building.
One of the Carlisle males then began kicking the door of the club and the woman said she attempted to stop him and they got into a physical altercation. She said he then got a woman to jump on her and that as she was fighting with her attacker the male pushed her face into the ground and then punched her causing her to black out.
It was while she was on the ground that a second male sexually assaulted her. The woman did not know the name of the man who sexually assaulted her but described him as a short, thin black male with short hair wearing a black hat and dark colored jacket.
Photos were taken of the woman’s injuries which the report states included a swollen eye, a scratch across her eye and scratches to her chest and arm. The woman also told deputies she saw a black male knock out a window and shoot twice into the air.
