The woman said she had been repeatedly hit by her boyfriend several times in the stomach. Deputies traveled from the restaurant to the home, where the boyfriend, 28-year-old Darrin Montrell Cherry, immediately opened fire with two handguns.

Deputies returned fire injuring the subject who was then detained. A child was then found in the backseat of Cherry’s car. The child was not injured. The Deputy has been placed on paid administrative leave.
