A Summerville man was arrested for simple assault against his grandmother  last week.

According to the report, when deputies arrived at the Back Berryton Road address, deputies heard yelling and screaming from inside the home. Once inside they had to physically separate  Eric Burk from his grandmother.  The grandmother told officers that 17-year-old Burke and his cousin had fought during the night and she had to physically separate them. Deputies saw  a door broken in half and off the hinges. The grandmother said she shoved Burk through the door in self defense. 

Burke was arrested and charged with simple assault under the Family Violence Act. He was taken to jail without incident.
