A Stone Mountain man remained in the Hall County Jail Wednesday afternoon after brandishing a gun at a security guard at a Buford Amazon facility Saturday evening.
According to Derreck Booth, Public Information Officer with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, 32-year-old Treval L’veander Howard went to the Amazon warehouse facility on Lanier Islands Parkway to pick up an employee he knew at the end of her shift.
Howard entered the building but was asked to leave by security since is not an employee. Howard then brandished a handgun at a security guard, according to Booth.
Howard then reportedly punched a deputy in the chest as the deputy patted him down for weapons.
When Howard refused commands by deputies to get on the ground, deputies tackled him. Booth said Howard continued fighting on the ground and was tased by deputies, then later handcuffed. Deputies also recovered the handgun.
Howard was booked into jail, where he’s being held on a $10,700 bond. Howard faces charges of aggravated assault, obstruction of an officer, misdemeanor obstruction of an officer and criminal trespass.
Booth said the incident is still under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office.
