  A Macon County man has been charged with two counts of assault. Forty-one-year-old Terry J. Stanfield, of Macon, was arrested Friday, May 27, 2022, by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.

  According to court documents, on or about Friday, May 27, while operating a black 2013 Dodge Caravan, westbound, on Shelby 302, Stanfield allegedly knowingly and intentionally swerved into the pathway of an eastbound 1995 Chrysler Sebring being operated by Anthony Allen, causing the Chrysler to slide, and run off the roadway.

  During an alleged confrontation with Allen on Shelby 302, Stanfield allegedly approached and threw rocks at Allen’s vehicle. Stanfield allegedly assaulted Allen, by punching him in the face and mouth area. As a result of the alleged assault, Allen sustained multiple injuries.

  According to the probable cause statement, Stanfield stated he recognized Allen’s car as he was traveling westbound on Shelby 302 and jarred the wheel causing Allen to slam on his brakes and slide sideways in the roadway.

  Stanfield stated as he got out of his vehicle, Allen allegedly shot a gun two to four times. Stanfield said as he went back to his vehicle, Allen took off to turn around that is when Allen allegedly got his car stuck in the ditch.

  Stanfield stated he turned around with his lights toward Allen and Allen allegedly shot the ground at least five to six times and then shot the radiator of the van he was in causing it to die.

  In Allen’s written statement, he stated he was allegedly driving through town minding his own business when people allegedly began to holler at him. Allen stated he tried to avoid them by turning around in a driveway, and as he turned around the people were there and allegedly attempted to run him off the road.

  Allen said he tried to avoid them and went into the ditch, and once in the ditch, he said two people in the van allegedly began to yell, grab at the window, and throw rocks causing a window to be bust. Allen said TJ then reached in and hit him in the face.

  According to court documents, photographs were taken by law enforcement on scene of the vehicle in the ditch on Shelby 302 belonging to Allen. Photographs were also taken on scene of injury to Allen’s right eyelid area, face, as well as showing damaged/missing tooth from alleged assault.

Terry Stanfield is being charged case No. 22SB-CR00098 with assault – 2nd degree and assault – 3rd degree. The charges were filed by Shelby County Prosecutor Jordan Force.

  Stanfield is being held at the Shelby County Jail on $20,000 cash only bond.

  A bond reduction hearing was held Friday, June 3. The bond was modified to OR bond by Shelby County Associate Judge Mike Greenwell.

  This story was written using information from court documents, which is one-sided. Terry Stanfield is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
