SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — A Sioux Falls man, accused of assaulting an apartment resident, is also accused of attacking a police officer who rushed to check out what was going on.
Police Spokesman Sam Clemens says the suspect kicked the officer and tried to grab his firearm.
“He ended up grabbing hold of the officers’s gun. That gun was holstered and the officer was able to keep it holstered.”
Actually, two men are accused of breaking into the apartment in the 200-block of North French Avenue, but the other guy had fled by the time police arrived. He was later captured.
Nathan Joel Butler, 26, the man who fought with the officer, has been charged with aggravated assault on law enforcement, simple assault, obstruction and resisting arrest.
Zachariah Almond, 47, the man picked up later, has been charged with aggravated assault.
Police have no idea at this point why these two guys were going after the man in the apartment.
