A Summerville man faces multiple charges following a domestic incident that escalated into violence and resistance against law enforcement, according to a Summerville Police Department report.

Officers were dispatched around 5:36 p.m. on March 16 to the Circle K on the north end of town, where a woman requested to meet with police regarding an incident that had occurred at her residence.

The complainant, identified as Jamie Petrey, told officers she had been preparing dinner when an argument began with her boyfriend, Jacob Gosnell, who she said was intoxicated. According to the report, the argument quickly turned physical.

Petrey told officers Gosnell pushed her in the chest and forced her toward a bedroom area while attempting to take her phone. During the struggle, she was able to contact Gosnell’s mother, who could reportedly be heard telling him to leave her alone.

The situation escalated further when Petrey attempted to leave the home with her child. She told officers Gosnell followed her outside, grabbed her by the shirt collar, and dragged her back toward the residence, preventing her from leaving and causing her to fear for her safety and the safety of her child.

Petrey reported no visible injuries and declined medical treatment. She later fled to a neighbor’s home and contacted family for assistance.

Due to reports of a firearm inside the residence and the potential for escalation, additional units were called to assist. Officers then responded to a home on Peppermint Place, where they made contact with Gosnell.

Police said Gosnell appeared highly intoxicated, was unsteady on his feet, and admitted that the incident occurred as described. He was then taken into custody.

During the arrest, Gosnell reportedly resisted officers, at one point kicking a deputy. Authorities say he also attempted to exit a patrol vehicle before being secured and transferred to another unit.

Gosnell was transported to the Chattooga County Jail and faces multiple charges, including simple battery and simple assault under the Family Violence Act, cruelty to children in the third degree, false imprisonment, disorderly conduct, multiple counts of obstruction of law enforcement, obstruction with violence, battery on a law enforcement officer, and escape.
