A Smithville man was arrested after threatening Dekalb County deputies with knives last week.
39-year-old Jeremy Austin Scruggs was charged with aggravated assault and resisting stop, frisk, halt, arrest or search.
Deputies were called to a home on Highland Avenue on a report of a man with a knife. Deputies found Scruggs in an outbuilding with a knife in each hand. After officers asked him to drop the knives, he charged. Deputies used a taser to stop Scruggs and detained him.
Scruggs’ bond is set at $8,500 and he’s due in court on September 14.
