The Sharp County Sheriff’s Office has charged a man with multiple battery charges after a disturbance at the County’s Detention Center.
Court documents filed on Monday show that on March 17, an inmate identified as 27-year-old Zachary Arnold began hitting another inmate in his holding cell.
When prison staff ordered Arnold to lay on the floor, he refused and was tased.
Arnold managed to remove the barbs from the taser and retrieved a set of keys from the food port door.
Arnold was still non-compliant and forcefully shoved his way through staff.
According to the affidavit, one of the staff was pushed into a wall, and another was shoved into a mop bucket.
After staff confronted Arnold, he was detained behind the booking desk inside the detention center.
He faces charges for two felony counts of furnishing, possessing, or using prohibited articles, felony impairing the operation of a vital public facility, two counts of felony second-degree battery, and misdemeanor third-degree battery.
His bond was set at $10,000.
