When the first officer arrived, witnesses said 37-year-old Kelly Michael Holcomb of Dallas, GA, had assaulted other Deerfield Lodge guests.

Police said Holcomb began to fight the officer on the scene before other officers could respond. Once they arrived, Holcomb began to assault them.

Authorities said officers used a Taser after several attempts were made to try and calm Holcomb down.
