CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – A man wanted by Clay County deputies was injured in a shooting that stemmed from a Monday incident after an attempt to issue a warrant.
Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook said the incident began earlier this week on Monday when the CCSO responded to Indian Trail to attempt to serve a warrant to Dajshon Asbell for violation of probation.

Cook said he was uncooperative and tried to stab a deputy with a syringe. After the fight, he ran off.
The sheriff’s office issued additional assault charges and another warrant that they attempted to serve on Friday around 3:45 p.m.
When deputies arrived, Asbell ran into a utility building with his girlfriend and refused to come out.
Cook said deputies could hear the girlfriend asking to leave, but Asbell refused to let her out.
Deputies began negotiating with him, but he constantly refused. Eventually, they threw gas into the building to get him out, but he still remained inside.
It took four to five hours of attempted negotiations. The deputies tried to break down the door.
Asbell, according to Cook, then ran out of the building with a sharp object in his hand, attempting to stab the deputies.
He grabbed a K-9 unit and made stabbing motions toward the dog. At least three deputies shot at Asbell with non-lethal ammunition.
He still attempted to fight against them as he was taken into custody.
The K-9 did not appear to be injured.
The man was taken to the hospital.
It’s unclear what additional charges will be added.
FDLE is investigating.
