Police and sheriff’s deputies are still trying to figure out who they arrested on an Interference with Official Acts charge Monday.

According to the arrest report, the man fled from a traffic stop at Hawkins Drive and For the Kids Way at 4:40 pm on foot and refused to stop for several commands. During the pursuit, the unknown man was reportedly observed throwing a pistol from his person as he ran.

Once caught, he refused to provide identification to officers. He apparently had no identification on him. The arrest report refers to the man as “unknown,” while he’s listed in the Johnson County Jail inmate roster as “John Doe.”

Whoever he is, he’s been charged with Interference with Official Acts involving a Firearm. If convicted, he faces five years in prison.
