HILTON HEAD ISLAND -- A Hilton Head Island security guard was arrested early Saturday morning after he fired a handgun into the air following a dispute with two bar patrons, according to a Beaufort County Sheriff's Office report.
Arsenol Martin, 30, of 137 Cordillo Parkway, who worked as a security guard at the Hilton Head Brewing Company, 7 Greenwood Drive, was charged with public disorderly conduct for firing at least one warning shot into the air while he chased two men who he said attacked him outside the brew pub, the report said.
Martin told deputies he was working security outside the brew pub at about 2 a.m. Saturday when a man came up behind him and struck him in the head with a metal object, the report said. After he was hit, Martin chased after the man who hit him and a second man who was running with him, he told the deputies. As he chased the men, Martin fired a warning shot into the air with his 9 mm handgun. Later, he said he may have fired two or three "warning shots."
Martin also told the deputies that he feared for his safety and that the men were trying to get his pistol from him, according to the report.
A witness told investigators that Martin had been hit with a pool cue case and, after giving chase, had fired "four or five rounds" toward the fleeing men.
