A Lake Worth man is due in court Wednesday, after authorities say he flagged down a Palm Beach County sheriff's deputy and hit him in the face.
PBSO officials said in a news release that 27-year-old Gerlo "G-Lo" Ulysse was arrested Tuesday.
The deputy was conducting a business check early Sunday morning, when officials say he was flagged down by a man in an alleyway.
The report says the man "ambushed" the deputy, striking him on the right side of the face with a blunt object.
The man ran and the deputy was treated at a hospital.
Ulysse faces charges of aggravated battery on an officer and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Records do not list an attorney for Gerlo Ulysse.
