Dillon County deputy shoots man throwing baseballs

(Dillon-AP) July 31, 2005 - Dillon County Sheriff Harold Grice says a deputy shot a man twice in the legs after he would not stop throwing baseballs at cars and people.

Grice says the man in a baseball uniform was throwing baseballs outside the Dillon Video Store on state Highway 34 Saturday morning. The sheriff says when Corporal Charles Hester arrived, Thomas Gaeta kept throwing baseballs and bats, so the officer shot him twice in the legs.

Grice says Gaeta was taken to the hospital and released to the jail, where he was charged with possession of a deadly weapon, assaulting a police officer, and malicious damage to property.
