PALM HARBOR — A retired school teacher from Indiana was injured early Saturday when she went to help a sheriff's deputy who was trying to subdue a suspect.    Sharon L. Scroggins [52208, fb], 59, suffered a concussion and bruising to her face after the suspect hit her in the jaw and knocked her to the ground.  The incident began shortly before 4:30 a.m. when Scroggins was driving her father, Maurice Scherf, 83, of Palm Harbor, to the doctor. She was heading down Alderman Road near Westlake Boulevard when a shirtless man ran in front of her 2000 Chevrolet Suburban.  "She said she bumped the guy, backed up, called 911," said her husband, Dwight Scroggins [52207].  ...  Dwight Scroggins said he and his wife recently retired from teaching school in Indiana. They came to Pinellas to be with Sharon Scroggins' father, who is ill.
