After a short foot chase Saturday night, a Summerville man was charged with obstruction of officers and resisting arrest.

 

Just past 7:30  that night, officers received a complaint that two suspicious men were on Glen Drive trying to sell video games. When deputies arrived both men were on foot walking toward Memorial Drive. According to the report, 20-year-old Christopher marks was one of two men who was reportedly trying to sell a video camera for $50 for cigarette money.

 

It was soon discovered that there was an active warrant for Marks for a probation violation. When Marks was placed under arrest, Deputy Corey Fielding tried to pat him down, but Marks fled on foot from Glen Drive toward Fields Walk. Fielding shouted several times for him to stop, according to the report. Deputies found Marks a short time later around the 100 block of Field Walk lying face down beside a car at a residence.

 

When he was approached by deputies, Marks reportedly said, "I give up." Marks was taken to the Chattooga County Jail.
