MIAMI, Okla. (AP) — A northeast Oklahoma man faces assault charges after allegedly trying to run over a police officer with a horse.
Ottawa County prosecutors are charging 39-year-old David Wilson of Wyandotte with assaulting a police officer and with domestic abuse and assault and battery. He's currently free on $6,300 bond.
An affidavit says officers went to Wilson's home Sunday to investigate a domestic violence report and were interviewing Laura Wilson when David Wilson rode up to the home on a horse.
The report says Wilson refused to get off the horse and when an officer reached for him he began leading the horse around the officers in an effort to knock them down.
He's also accused of kicking one officer in the leg after being carried to a patrol car and of spitting on another officer.
