Justin Eli Durham, a Summerville resident, was arrested on Tuesday of this week, after an incident involving assault and resisting arrest at a residence on 375 Union Street. Summerville Police responded to a call regarding a domestic dispute at approximately 6:54 PM. Upon arrival, officers found Durham on the porch, hunched over. According to the police report, Durham refused multiple commands to stand up, responding to officers with, “Make me b****.” After being stood up and placed in handcuffs, Durham reportedly continued to resist law enforcement and exhibited signs of intoxication, including a strong odor of alcohol. He was subsequently taken to the ground and then secured in a patrol car after further resistance. The investigation revealed that Durham had arrived at the residence uninvited and refused to leave when asked. The victims, whose names are not included in the police report, sought assistance from two other women to persuade Durham to leave. According to statements given to police, Durham allegedly struck the women multiple times, causing injuries, and attempted to strike another person. Durham was transported to the Chattooga County Jail without further incident and was charged with assault, battery, resisting arrest, and public intoxication.
