According to charges filed Tuesday in Sequoyah County District Court, Jimmy Edward Harris, 30, is facing felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and malicious injury to property charges from theSept. 21 incident.
According to court records, Sequoyah County Sheriff's Deputy Randy Gann was dispatched to a home west of the Long Community Church north of Muldrow in reference to an alleged assault.
The victim told Gann that he went to the home of Charlene Harris to pick up some aluminum cans and parked his vehicle on the shoulder of the road when a man, identified as Jimmy Harris, walked up and accused the victim of trying to run over him. The victim told Gann that Jimmy Harris struck him in the head with a hockey stick, broke out his truck windshield, and kicked a large dent in the passenger side door of the truck.
A witness said she saw Harris strike the victim on the head and hit the truck, and heard him yell repeatedly at the victim to leave. Harris allegedly left the scene through the woods west of the home.
Gann reported that he saw a large red knot on the victim's forehead. Gann also saw the damage done to the victim's truck.
Harris was booked into the Sequoyah County Jail in Sallisaw Saturday, where he remains on a $10,000 bond, according to jail records.
