Biloxi police: Man head-butts police officer
BILOXI, Miss. (AP) – Biloxi police say a man being taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge head-butted an officer in the face, resulting in a felony charge.
Detective Nick Sonnier tells The Sun Herald David Anthony Scott was combative and resisting officer involvement when police responded to a domestic incident early Monday.
Sonnier says Scott is accused of head-butting an officer who was trying to arrest him on a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace.
He says the officer’s injuries did not require medical attention.
Scott also was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of possession of a narcotic.
Justice Court Judge Bruce Strong set bond on the felony at $25,000. The misdemeanor bonds, set by Municipal Court, total $1,007.
