Goldston, NC – On March 10, while attempting to serve four Orders for Arrest for failure to appear on Brandon Thomas Hill, 30, of 216 Coral Ave., Goldston, a Chatham County Sheriff’s Office deputy sustained injuries when Hill resisted.
While attempting to serve the warrants, one of three deputies on the scene encountered resistance from Hill, sustaining a minor head injury from Hill’s elbow, and a cut on her hand. The deputy’s injuries were not serious, and she is expected to make a full recovery.
Hill was arrested by Deputy Daniel Palmiter for four counts of failure to appear. On those charges, Hill was issued a $10,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in Chatham County District Court in Pittsboro on March 26.
Additionally, Hill faces charges of one count of felony assault resulting in physical injury to a law enforcement/probation/parole officer and a misdemeanor charge of resisting a public officer. For those charges, Hill was held on a 48-hour hold and is scheduled to appear in Chatham County District Court in Pittsboro on March 18.
“The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office is committed to ensuring the safety of our deputies and the community at large,” said Sheriff Mike Roberson. “There is absolutely no justification for any assault on an officer carrying out their duties. We condemn such actions in the strongest terms possible and we will pursue appropriate legal action to hold fully accountable those responsible for such assaults.”
