A Summerfield man who used his head to shatter the back window of a Marion County sheriff’s deputy’s patrol vehicle is behind bars.

Deputies on Monday were called to a residence in the 3700 block of SE Hwy. 42 in Summerfield, where a man told them that he had been punched by 41-year-old Michael Lloyd Proctor. The man said that Proctor had come to his residence to pick up his wallet that was left in a work vehicle. The man added that he had fired Proctor earlier in the day and he was still upset, a sheriff’s office report states.

The man said he met Proctor at the end of his driveway and “he became irate and began cursing” at him. He said he asked Proctor to leave and he punched him in the face with a closed fist. He said they wrestled on the ground and he was punched in the face at least one more time before he got on top of Proctor and held him down on the ground, the report says, adding that the man had scrapes and cuts on his left temple, nose and forehead.

The man said he eventually let Proctor get up and he drove away. He said he then received a text from Proctor’s wife saying he had parked his vehicle behind his house and started walking north on SE 36th Avenue, the report says.

Deputies made contact with Proctor a short time later and after being read his rights, he claimed that his former employer “got in his face and they began fighting.” He couldn’t explain how they ended up on the ground or if he struck the man first, but deputies didn’t observe any injuries on him, the report says.

Deputies advised Proctor that he was being arrested and as they escorted him to a patrol vehicle, he attempted to pull away and flee. Deputies took Proctor to the ground and during an ensuing struggle, he removed a deputy’s knife from his pocket, the report says.

Deputies took the knife away from Proctor and as they were attempting to put him in the backseat of a patrol vehicle, he slammed his head against the rear window and shattered it. He was taken the ground a second time and during the struggle removed one of the deputy’s ammunition magazines from a pouch. Deputies quickly recovered the magazine and paramedics were called to treat a laceration on Proctor’s forehead, the report says.

After he was medically cleared, Proctor was placed in another patrol vehicle and started banging his head on a plexiglass partition. He was then taken the ground a third time and put in a total appendage restraint. While deputies were restraining his legs, he said, “Come closer and I will kick you.” And he then attempted to kick a deputy in the leg before he was completely restrained, the report says.

Proctor was transported to Marion County Jail and charged with battery, criminal mischief, resisting an officer with violence, battery on a law enforcement officer and petit theft. He is being held on $12,500 bond and is due in court Nov. 12 at 9 a.m. to answer to the charges.
