A Clinton man was arrested and charged recently with, among other things, assault and battery upon a police officer.
According to court documents the incident happened on November 30 after 30-year-old Joshua Allen Cook attempted to elude a Clinton Police Officer in his car while the officer attempted to perform a traffic stop. The report stated that Cook willfully increased his speed when the officer turned on his lights to initiate the traffic stop.
After making the stop, Cook would allegedly threaten to tamper with the police vehicle’s tires and would also threaten to cause serious bodily harm to the arresting officer.
