Brown and his brother drove from the scene to a location where they called 911. Emergency personnel took Brown to a local hospital for treatment.
Deputies said 39-year-old Nathan Monroe Myers of Cherryville faces several charges, including assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. He is jailed under $50,000 bond, and it's not known if he has an attorney.
