(KAIR)--An Atchison man's alleged refusal to go peacefully when picked up by police on a court warrant lands him in additional trouble, including the allegation that he hit an officer as he failed to cooperate.
Atchison Police Captain Tim Stout said that happened Tuesday, shortly before noon, when police made their attempt to arrest 43-year-old William Wright. "An officer was attempting to arrest William Wright on a district court warrant for failure to appear at a residence in the 1400 block of Atchison Street," Stout told MSC News. "During the arrest, Wright resisted the officer and ended up strking the officer. Wright was eventually arrested after a brief struggle.”
Along with being arrested for the court warrant, Wright, of Atchison, was additionally taken into custody on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, interference with a law enforcement officer, an violation of a protection order.
Following his arrest, Wright was booked in the Atchison County Jail.
The officer was not seriously hurt.
