On Saturday, June 8, 2025 at 2212 hours, I, Officer T. Wood (1501) responded emergent by Burke County 911 to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] (Orchard Hills Apartments) in reference to a disturbance.
While in route to the call i activated my department issued body camera. Upon arrival on scene, I met with a male subject later identified as Mark Bunyon.
Bunyon stated that several of his grand kids were cursing at him and being disrespectful. Bunyon told the juveniles to get out his house if they were going to be disrespectful. Bunyon stated that the juveniles broke the window but it was not observed to be broken.
While speaking with one of the juveniles, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] [VICTIM #1], she stated that Bunyon punched her in the eye with a closed fist. [VICTIM #1] had a bruise and swelling on her left eye.
Bunyon was placed in handcuffs, double locked to the rear and placed in the back seat of a pre-searched patrol vehicle and was transported to the Burke County Detention Center.
