A Johnson County Jail inmate faces charges that he assaulted a sheriff’s deputy.
34-year-old Brandon Shields of Shady Glen Court was booked into the jail just before 2am Saturday on charges of Assault on a Peace Officer and Public Intoxication. Arrest records indicate that around 3am he was still too intoxicated to follow directions, as he ignored multiple requests from jailers to change from his orange jumpsuit into his street clothes.
Shields allegedly became combative, fought with deputies, resisted being taken to a holding cell, and eventually threw one deputy into a door before he could be subdued.
Shields now faces an additional count of Assault on Persons in Certain Occupations. If convicted on all charges, he faces a maximum of 25 months in jail.
