On 6/11/17 at approximately 3:00 pm, Deputies with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic disturbance on Forest Creek Rd in Pace. Initial information indicated the suspect stabbed a male on scene and a dog.
Upon Deputies arrival, suspect David Marlan Heck Jr was seen running from a residence and jumped into a pool. When Heck realized he was seen, he attempted to run from Deputies. A Taser was deployed striking Heck with no effect. A second Deputy again tased Heck, where a physical struggle ensued. Heck was subsequently taken into custody after causing damage to the property of a Deputy.
