Assault And Battery
Hitting a motorist on the arm is a good way to end up in jail, especially if there are witnesses who say you did it.
Steven Lamont Smith, 28, 107 Scott St., Union, is charged by the public safety department with assault and battery.
The incident report states an officer was dispatched Monday afternoon to the area of Blassingame and Thomas streets. When the officer arrived, he was met by the victim who said he’d been riding his moped up Blassingame when Smith ran out into the road and hit him on his right arm with a stick.
The officer also questioned a witness who was on a moped behind the victim. The witness said a black male hit the victim on the arm with a stick. Both the witness and the victim said the attacker was sitting on a porch on Blassingame Street.
The report states the responding officer and two other officers went to the Blassingame residence and found Smith sitting on the porch. They questioned Smith who said he and the victim had been having words over the past couple of weeks but denied hitting him.
Further investigation, however, lead to another witness who told officers he’d been at Lybrand and Blassingame and saw a black male run and hit a white male on a moped with a stick. The report states that after talking to the witness an officer placed Smith under arrest.
