Deputies responded to the County Park on County Road 40
near the boat ramp in reference to a knife welding man chasing people
at the park. Upon arrival Corporal Wells observed Nasworthy holding a
paddle over his head in an aggressive manner. Nasworthy was ordered

at gun point to drop the paddle and get on the ground and he complied.
Nasworthy had a pocket knife in his front right pocket and he was taken
into custody. Corporal Wells summoned an ambulance due to Nasworthy bleeding from his
mouth and nose.
Three victims reported that Nasworthy was extremely drunk and he became angry
when they were swimming around his boat. Nasworthy chased them out of the water and
through the park on foot threatening them with a knife and also twisted a ladies arm causing
minor injuries. The victims stated that they feared for their lives but was able to elude any
severe injuries. The victims stated that when Nasworthy threatened an unidentified man he
was punched in the face several times and that is how he sustained his injuries.
Nasworthy was transported by ambulance to Seven Rivers Hospital where he became
belligerent with the doctor and refused treatment. Nasworthy was discharged from the
emergency room. Deputy Jay Crooms and Corporal Wells were escorting Nasworthy to
the patrol car when he threatened and kicked the Deputies. Nasworthy had to be physically
placed in the patrol car and he was transported to the Levy County Jail. Upon arrival at the
jail Nasworthy threatened Corporal Wells and stated that he would locate Wells when he
gets out of jail and with a lot of adjectives he would do bodily harm to him.
