A couple resists arrest and goes for a dagger in confrontation with LPD
Thursday, September 26, 2019 at approximately 12:30PM Lumberton Sergeant Michael Strange responded to the Antique Mall on FM421 for a suspicious male and female in the parking lot. Strange ran a search on the two persons in the vehicle from the Livingston area and learned the male had numerous misdemeanor and felony warrants, the female also had warrants including evading arrests from Law Enforcement. Strange called for assistance and waited for Officer Tanner Hawthorne to arrive before taking the suspects in custody.
“The male suspect resisted arrest and began to fight with both of my officers. During the altercation the suspect kept trying to go for his necklace, after the struggle the officers learned that the cross necklace contained a double edge dagger inside of it,” said Lumberton PD Chief Danny Sullins.
Both officers received scratches, torn uniforms, road rash, and other minor injuries. When EMS arrived the officers received first aid type treatments from EMT’s but the injuries were non-life threatening.
The officers found packaged methamphetamines in the vehicle packaged for distribution and a firearm in the vehicle.
