ATLANTA - The man who authorities say was scuffling with a Fulton County deputy when his son was fatally shot will appear in court in June for a probable cause hearing. <br> <br> Twenty-two-year-old Detrick Corbett was charged yesterday with aggravated assault, aggravated battery, felony obstruction of police and interfering with custody. <br> <br> His son -- Detrick Junior -- died early Wednesday. Authorities say the child was shot as the father scuffled with a Fulton County deputy, trying to get her gun. <br> <br> Police said the struggle and shooting was the culmination of a domestic dispute that began earlier at the northwest Atlanta home of the boy&#39;s mother -- Tekemah Russell, also 22. <br> <br> Russell told police Corbett took their son from her home and she followed him in a car, only to crash on Bankhead Highway. Russell was listed in critical but stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital Thursday.
