A Chatsworth couple is in jail after one man stabbed a friend and the man’s girlfriend bit, spit on and kicked at police officers.

Roy Dallas Scott, 60, said he was at his residence at 519 Bob White Trail in Chatsworth on Tuesday using a computer when Shawntisha Nicole Bray and her boyfriend Hubert Eugene Rogers — a man Scott said is a longtime acquaintance and son of the couple he is living with — became angry he wasn’t finished with it sooner.

Rogers began stabbing Scott with a knife and took away the phone so he couldn’t call for help, according to the incident report from the Murray County Sheriff’s Office.

“I went and got about six or eight stitches in my knee and about six or eight in my neck,” Scott said. “It’s healing OK. My neck, he really came close to hitting my jugular vein and killing me.”

According to the report by officer Jason Miller, Bray and Rogers finally left and went to someone else’s home where the owner called police to say the couple was asleep in his garage. Authorities responded to the residence on Old East Road and found Rogers sitting in a chair in the middle of the garage with a pistol in his hand. Officers told him to drop the firearm, which they later discovered was a BB gun, but instead he pointed it at them and “began swinging the gun from side to side,” according to the report.

When he finally dropped it, his girlfriend ran toward the gun, but she stopped after officers told her multiple times to get on the ground. The report said she then tried to bite a deputy on the arm “just barely grazing his arm with her teeth” and “became very combative and then proceeded to spit in my face” when Miller placed her in his patrol car. It says she also spit on another officer and at a jailer and was sprayed with pepper spray after she began “continuously kicking” the doors of the patrol car.

Chief Deputy Ray Sitton said several law enforcement personnel involved with Bray went to the emergency room to be decontaminated after a family member told them Bray had tested positive for hepatitis C in the past. Hepatitis C is a viral disease that leads to swelling of the liver.

Rogers, 45, 519 Bob White Trail, Chatsworth, was charged Wednesday by the Murray County Sheriff’s Office with interference with a 911 call, three counts of terroristic threats and acts, aggravated assault, two counts of aggravated assault upon a peace officer, three counts of false imprisonment and criminal trespass.

Bray, 25, 405 Old East Road, Chatsworth, was charged Wednesday by the Murray County Sheriff’s Office with four counts of obstruction of an officer, simple assault, two counts of reckless contact by hepatitis C positive person against a peace officer and reckless conduct by a hepatitis C positive person against a corrections officer.

Bray was still in the Murray County jail on a $10,000 bond as of Thursday afternoon. Officials said Rogers was in jail and had been denied bond.
