MOULTRIE, Ga. — A man shot by police after he allegedly fired a deer rifle at them July 3 is now in the Colquitt County Jail.

Bernard Lynn Patterson, 50, of 1402 S. West Boulevard, was brought up from the Leon County, Fla., jail earlier this week, law enforcement sources said.

The booking report released Friday lists his arrest date as Tuesday. He’s charged with seven counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, two counts of possession of a firearm or knife during commission of a crime, two counts of terroristic threats and acts, and one count each of aggravated assault and aggravated assault (family violence).

According to previously released reports from the Moultrie Police Department and comments from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Patterson was threatening his father with a knife outside his residence on West Boulevard. The first officer on scene was able to get Patterson’s father to a place of safety when Patterson went into the house.

After other officers arrived, Patterson came onto the porch with a deer rifle, the GBI said. Officials said he pointed the weapon at officers multiple times, and at least once he told officers to shoot him.

The standoff lasted a few hours, then Patterson crouched, pointed the deer rifle in officers’ direction and fired at least one shot, the GBI said. Five officers returned fire; several missed because they were firing their handguns at extreme range, but Patterson was hit at least once and went down.

He was airlifted to a hospital in Tallahassee, Fla., and when he had healed enough to be released, he was taken to the Leon County Jail. He was transferred to Colquitt County this week.

Of the five officers who fired their weapons, one was a Moultrie police officer, three were Colquitt County sheriff’s deputies and one was a Thomas County deputy. The Colquitt County Special Response Team includes officers from the Moultrie Police Department and sheriff’s offices in Colquitt, Thomas and Lowndes counties.

The Moultrie and Colquitt County officers were placed on administrative leave, officials said, but all have since returned to duty. The Observer did not seek the status of the Thomas County officer.

Moultrie police are investigating the actions for which Patterson is being charged. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating questions about the officers’ use of force. Jamy Steinberg, special agent in charge of the GBI’s Thomasville office, said on Friday that he expects to turn over his report to the district attorney’s office within the next two weeks.
