“By the time I got there, the man was visibly shaken, yelling at us to get back in our cars and so forth,” Dermid said.Īccording to Sweezy’s statement, Case “quickly stuck his hand into his right coat pocket and said, ‘No, you can’t see what is in my jacket!’ It looked so obvious like he was just sticking his finger into his jacket from the position of his hand and his finger was stuck straight out.” Officer Rusty Sweezy beat Dermid to the scene by a few seconds and was already questioning Case when Dermid arrived. So Sams radioed for Dermid, who was then working the day shift as watch commander, to come and see to the situation before class let out at HHS. On that day, Officer Jim Sams was working as a crossing guard for Hendersonville High when he recognized a man, Brown Case, wearing a gray suit with what appeared to be a billy club sticking out from under his coat.įifteen years earlier, Case had injured Sams in a fight, and it had taken five men to get him in cuffs, according to Sams’ statement to police.
