SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — A young adult has been arrested and charged after authorities alleged the suspect assaulted someone, then dragged an arresting police officer behind their vehicle in an attempt to flee.
In the early morning hours of June 20, Sioux Falls Police responded to the call of a disturbance and assault at a downtown Holiday Inn.
