A welfare check at 10:22 a.m. Tuesday morning, January 1st, in the 300 block of SW 4th Street led to the arrest of two men
“Upon officers arrival, they could not get an answer at the front door,” said Officer Curtis Graham. “When the officer attempted to make contact at the back door, a male ran out of the back door.”
The officer gave chase and struggled with the subject numerous times.
“The subject attempted to take the officers electrical conductive weapon from him,” said Graham.
Once in custody, the suspect was identified as Kuaylon Demon Battle, 40, of Blossom, Texas.
“During the investigation, Battle was found to be in possession of a large amount of narcotics and synthetic marijuana.”
Battle was charged with manufacturing or delivering methamphetamine of more than 1 gram but less than 200 grams, manufacturing or delivering synthetic marijuana of more than 4 grams but less than 400 grams, attempting to take a weapon from an officer, possession of marijuana of more than 2 ounces but less than 4 ounces, evading arrest or detention, resisting arrest, and failing to identify by giving a false name.
