Man wanted for obstruction flees from deputies

Shawn Lee McGill, 41, of 1843 Hwy. 211 in Winder, was mowing his grass when a deputy passed by his home. The deputy recognized McGill from an earlier encounter in which McGill had fled from him. After the incident, the deputy obtained a warrant for obstruction.

Before confronting McGill, the deputy radioed for assistance. The backup deputies stationed themselves behind McGill’s residence in case the man attempted to flee again.

While McGill was still on his riding mower, the deputy walked up behind him and asked for assistance. The deputy then said he was looking for Shawn McGill. McGill replied, “That would be me.”

When the deputy asked McGill to step off the riding mower, McGill asked if he could move the mower first. As the deputy followed closely behind, McGill drove the mower around the back of the house before jumping off and running towards the woods.

Before he could escape, McGill saw the backup deputies and surrendered.

McGill claimed he did not know he had an outstanding warrant. He told the deputy that the only reason he ran previously was because he had been in an argument with his girlfriend and was trying to avoid a confrontation with law enforcement.

McGill said he was afraid of law enforcement officers and did not want to get in trouble.

The deputy informed McGill that he was being placed under arrest for the original obstruction warrant and would also be charged with another count of obstruction for trying to avoid being arrested for the first count of obstruction.
