Kenneth Eugene Sellers, a 47-year-old man, was arrested recently following an incident that began with a report of shoplifting at the Walmart Apprehension Prevention office.

A Chattooga County deputy was dispatched to the scene to investigate the alleged theft. Upon arrival, staff informed the officer of a disturbance occurring inside Walmart, where a man was reportedly yelling and causing a scene. Employees pointed out Sellers, who was wearing a blue jean jacket, as the individual responsible for the commotion. Upon locating Sellers, Deputy Ellenburg noted signs of intoxication, including slurred speech and unsteady movements. When questioned about his drinking, Sellers candidly admitted, “a lot.” His aggressive behavior escalated as he directed profane remarks towards the officer, including an explicit demand to “shut the f*** up.”

In light of his threatening demeanor and public drunkenness, Sellers was placed under arrest. During transit to the Chattooga County Jail, he made alarming threats, stating, “You need a bullet through the head,” and suggesting that the officer would “get yours when you get out.” Upon arrival at the jail, Sellers continued to exhibit erratic behavior, demanding assistance in a confrontational manner. When asked to exit the patrol vehicle, he unexpectedly lunged at the deputy, making contact with the officer’s chest. With the help of another deputy, Sellers was finally escorted into the intake room without further incident.

Sellers faces multiple charges, including intimidation or obstruction of jurors or law enforcement officers and public drunkenness.
