Antwan Martel Jeter, age 36 of Cayce, has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a deputy and running over him with a car as deputies were attempting to arrest Jeter on a warrant, according to Lexington Police Chief Terrence Green.

At approximately 4 p.m., Tuesday, Jeter came to the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department to complete court ordered registration as a sex offender. During the process it was found there was an outstanding warrant for Jeter’s arrest. When approached by deputies, Jeter ran to a car, police said, where a struggle ensued as they attempted to take him into custody.

During the struggle, Jeter backed up the car and drove over a deputy as he fled from the parking lot.

The Lexington Police Department and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department searched the area for the car and then began following up addresses that Jeter may have been. Jeter was taken into custody Tuesday evening by the Richland County Sheriff’s Department at the home of a family member on Allaire Court South in Blythewood.

The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department deputy has been hospitalized but is believed to have non-life threatening injuries.

The Lexington Police Department charged Jeter with Assault and Battery of a High and Aggravated Nature, Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer while Resisting Arrest, Hit and Run with Great Bodily Injury, and Malicious Injury to Property. Additional charges will be pending from the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department.
