Alleged attack at ER leads to assault charges

Thursday, July 24, 2008
Two assault charges have been filed against a Shelbyville man who allegedly attacked a couple at Heritage Medical Center's emergency room about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.

David Eugene Stacey Jr., 20, Green Lane, was arrested on Hart's Chapel Road after allegedly running in front of a police car and initially refusing orders to stop, Officer Tory Moore said.

Following a brief foot pursuit, Stacey told Moore he was being chased by several persons who wanted to attack him.

Police said Stacey entered the emergency room loudly cursing, then turned his attention toward the couple, who had brought their child for treatment.

Stacey allegedly became "enraged" and struck the woman in the head after being asked to stop using foul language around her child, Moore said, then left the building and hit the woman's husband in the mouth before running away.

Stacey posted $14,000 bond at Bedford County Jail.

Tires taken

An employee of a Shelbyville tire store told police he watched as someone took 12 newly-delivered tires in three trips Tuesday.

Four Goodyear Wrangler tires apiece were taken from Gateway Tire, North Main Street, at 10:50 a.m., four more again a short time later, and the final four at 1:10 p.m., police said.

The employee said the tires were loaded into a burgundy Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.
