(KNZA)--A man, arrested after a search warrant was executed at a Hiawatha motel, could face more charges for allegedly attacking officers during the raid.

According to a release from Hiawatha Police Chief Mickey Gruber, 38-year-old Zackariah Reed was arrested on a Brown County warrant for criminal threat.

The search warrant was obtained after Hiawatha Police were called to the Stars Inn Motel, at 207 Lodge Road, on the evening of June 9. The investigation following their response led to the warrant, which led to a search of a motel room, and to the arrest of Reed.

According to the release, “there are potentially more charges to come” because a Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper and a KHP K-9 “were both struck with a blunt object during the execution of the search and arrest warrants.”

The Trooper was not hurt, but the K-9 suffered minor injuries.

Along with the KHP, Hiawatha Police were assisted by the Brown and Nemaha counties Sheriff’s Offices, Sac and Fox Tribal Police, and Brown County Dispatchers.

Following his arrest, Reed was booked into the Brown County Jail. As of Wednesday, he remained in custody, held on a $25,000 bond.
