Emmanuel Singleton
A Cheraw man was arrested Wednesday for assaulting another man with a sword.
According to Investigator Clay Anderson of the Marlboro County Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement responded Wednesday (May 11) to a residence on Hickory Grove Road in Bennettsville about an assault.
Investigators learned that the victim was struck multiple times with a sword.
The victim, an adult male, was transported to an out-of-state hospital where he has undergone surgeries for the injury sustained during the assault.
Anderson said investigators learned that Emmanuel Singleton, 45 of Cheraw, was the assailant.
Singleton was arrested the same day at a residence near Tatum and transported to the Marlboro County Detention Center, where he received a $75,000 surety bond.
If Singleton can make bond, he will be required to wear a GPS ankle monitor.
