ROGERS COUNTY, Okla. — A man in court for aggravated domestic assault and battery attempted to flee the building before he could be taken into custody.
News on 6 reports that officers chased William Birdtail through the building, eventually tackling and tasering him just before he made it out the front doors.
“Officers were yelling at him to stop. He met officers at the front door and they were laying hands on him and tried to resolve the situation but when it escalated, they had to go to a taser,” Major Coy Jenkins with the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office said.
Birdtail now faces additional charges of assaulting officers, escape and arrest. Previously Birdtail was to be held in jail with $200,000 bond, but now, based on the events of his attempted escape plus the serious nature of his previous charges, he will be held without bond.
