A man who was slow to obey deputies’ commands was ordered to the ground at gunpoint and eventually arrested on a drug charge, according to the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office.Shortly before 8:30 p.m. Thursday, a deputy with the Sheriff’s Targeted Enforcement Patrol, or STEP, was on patrol near The Lodge Apartments when he noticed that a vehicle pulled away and a man, later identified as Edward Jermaine Rawls, 30, of West Grady Street, began walking toward him, holding an open 12-ounce beer bottle, according to an incident report.As the deputy got out of his patrol vehicle, Rawls stopped as if he were about to change directions. When the deputy asked him why he was holding a beer bottle, Rawls said he was sorry and that he was just trying to get home. Rawls was extremely nervous and jittery, the report says.Rawls began to turn away from the deputy and reached his right hand into the waist area of his pants.
