OZARK, Ala. (AP) - A two-day drug trial ended in a fight between
two Dale County sheriff's deputies and a Dothan man found guilty of
marijuana possession this week after the convict slipped a substance into his mouth and requested that his stomach not be pumped.
District Attorney Kirke Adams said jurors had just left Circuit Judge Ken Quattlebaum's courtroom before 25-year-old Jason Thompson fought a sheriff's Lt. and a deputy.
Adams said the fight started when a deputy asked Thompson to spit something out he had put in his mouth. When Thompson refused, a deputy tried to take it out of his mouth.
Thompson then became combative and tried to escape, but was hit with a Taser.
Sheriff Wally Olson said Lt. Kyle Anderson suffered a broken nose in the melee. He said Thompson's stomach wasn't pumped because of a lapse of time, but he will face assault charges.
Thompson also has a drug case pending in Houston County
