Two men were arrested following an attack on Eric Scott Cheers, a detention officer, while he was working a security detail at a liquor store in northwest Atlanta on November 1. Cheers sustained serious injuries, including a swollen eye, cuts, and missing teeth, after being punched multiple times by the suspects, Xavier Evans, 29, and Xavion Evans, 24, who were charged with aggravated battery. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist Cheers, a single father of three, as he recovers from the physical and mental trauma of the incident.
