ROCKINGHAM — A man is facing half a dozen charges after allegedly threatening a Richmond County sheriff’s deputy and hitting him with a truck.
According to court documents, the deputy was investigating a traffic stop Monday when 41-year-old Jason Earl Gomiller, of Marigold Street told the deputy he would kill him and didn’t “give a f—” if the deputy went home to his family — and would kill them.
Gomiller is accused of speeding off, hitting the deputy with and extended cab Ford F-150.
Another deputy responded to assist with the fleeing suspect.
Gomiller allegedly spat on that deputy, and snatched away saying, “I’m not going no f—ing where.” Documents show in excess of $200 in damage was caused to that deputy’s cruiser, a 2013 Dodge Charger.
Gomiller was arrested and charged with two counts of resisting a public officer and one count each of assault on a government official, assault with a deadly weapon, communicating threats and injury to personal property. All charges are misdemeanors.
He was initially booked on a $150,000 secured bond, which was reduced the following day to $150,000 unsecured. Gomiller was also ordered, as a condition of release, not to have any contact with the deputies who were listed as victims.
Online records show Gomiller was also given citations for driving with a revoked license from a non-impaired revocation, having an expired registration card or tag, an additional lighting equipment violation and failing to heed a red light or siren.
He is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 2, 2020 on the criminal charges and Feb. 13 on the traffic infractions.
Records with the N.C. Department of Public Safety Division of Adult Correction show Gomiller’s only previous convictions were in 2013 for driving with a revoked license and a seat belt violation in New Hanover County.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
