Police released the name of a man who was arrested Monday in a robbery at the 7-Eleven on Oakwood Road and in an earlier assault on a bus driver.

Gerald Martin Maxwell, 21 of Rand, flagged down a bus about 5:50 a.m. Monday and told the driver he had been attacked and kidnapped, according to a news release by Charleston police. The bus driver radioed for help. Maxwell then became very agitated and began yelling and throwing things before leaving and climbing on the front of the bus and punching it, according to the release.

He then walked down the road to the 7-Eleven, dropping a knife in the street, according to the release.

Maxwell ran into the store and went behind the counter to use the phone, then tried to drag the clerk into the back room, according to the release.

Maxwell tried to open the cash register, then left the store and walked across the street, according to the release.

When the first officer arrived on the scene, Maxwell was standing in front of the 7-Eleven. The K-9 unit ordered Maxwell to the ground, but he refused and began yelling at the officer, according to the release. Police say Maxwell then took off all his clothes and threatened to kill the officer.

The officer used everything at his disposal, including his dog, to try to control Maxwell, according to the release.

Another police officer arrived on scene and twice used his Taser on Maxwell, who broke away and ran out of the store and tried to steal a police cruiser, according to police. After additional struggle where Maxwell broke the front window of the 7-Eleven, Maxwell was arrested, documents say.

He was taken to Charleston Area Medical Center General Hospital, where he is under guard and where his mental condition is being evaluated.

Maxwell is charged with assault and battery, battery of a police officer, first-degree robbery, destruction of property, disorderly conduct obstruction of justice and grand larceny, according to the release.
