A 37-year-old Chattanooga man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly charged at a girl who accused him of sexual assault — while the girl was speaking to a deputy.

According to an affidavit, the girl was talking to a Hamilton County deputy about 9 p.m. Tuesday when Kasey Boran sped up to the house on Birmingham Highway. The girl will not be identified because she is a minor.

The deputy’s affidavit said Boran jumped out of the truck and charged at the girl and her mother. The deputy ran between Boran and the girl and broke up the altercation, according to the report. But when the deputy returned to the home later to talk to a witness, Boran kept interrupting the conversation and refused repeated warnings to stay inside, the affidavit stated.

The deputy eventually told Boran he was under arrest, but Boran ran into the house and into a back bedroom. When the deputy followed, Boran charged at him from the bedroom. The deputy fired his Taser and hit Boran in the shoulder, according to the affidavit. He said he tackled Boran but the man kicked him in the leg.

The deputy shot Boran again with the stun gun, this time in the lower back, and then was able to handcuff him.

Boran has been charged with coercion of a witness, assault on police, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He was still in custody at the Hamilton County Jail on Wednesday.
