MYRTLE BEACH

Woman charged with assault at club

A 26-year-old Myrtle Beach woman was charged with hitting a 38-year-old man with a beer bottle while inside a club at Broadway at the Beach, according to a police report.

Devin Chanell Jackson, of 4932 Crab Pond Court, was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature after police saw security chasing a woman through the parking lot near Shuckers Raw Bar at 12:40 a.m. Sunday, police said.

The security officers told police the woman hit an employee of Club Boca after he was bumped by someone, which caused him to bump into Jackson, according to the report. The man said Jackson was offended and demanded an apology, but before he could do anything, she hit him in the face several times before he grabbed her wrist to stop her.

The man said she pulled away, went to the beer tub, got a beer and hit him about 10 times in the head, according to the report. Officers noted the man had visible injuries to his nose, but he refused medical treatment.

Jackson told police she was bumped by someone in the club and that person grabbed her by the throat, and she hit him repeatedly with a beer bottle, according to the report.
