A Carson Street man was charged with multiple offenses on Wednesday afternoon by Greeneville police after he allegedly attacked four people, including a police officer, and vandalized two vehicles.

Arrest warrants filed by GPD Officer Daphne Justis indicated that she charged Michael Joe Shelton, 29, of 713 Carson Street, with two counts of vandalism, three counts of domestic assault and one count of assaulting a police officer after she responded to a disturbance call at his residence about 2:30 p.m.

The assaulting a police officer warrant indicated that when Officer Justis reached the scene, she saw Shelton smashing the window of a parked vehicle with a folding chair.

When she ordered Shelton to stop, the warrant said, Shelton ran toward Officer Justis "in an extremely hostile manner."

In response, Officer Justis stepped to the side and sprayed Shelton in the face with "a chemical agent," the warrant said.

When that failed to halt the attempted attack, the warrant said, Officer Justis sprayed Shelton a second time.

Shelton then sat down in the roadway on Carson Street and was taken into custody, the warrant said.

Before police arrived, according to other warrants, Shelton allegedly had assaulted three other residents of the Carson Street house and had smashed the windshield of a parked car by throwing an automobile battery through it.

Shelton was ordered held without bond on the domestic assault charges. Bond on the other charges was set at $3,000 and he was scheduled to appear Friday in General Sessions Court.
