A Baxter County man has posted a $10,000 bond after attempting to urinate on and hit jailers during booking.
Jailers provided time for Rees to calm down, took his picture for booking and then proceeded to walk him to the detox area to dress him in his jail uniform. During the changing process Rees allegedly became angry with jailers and attempted to urinate on one of them. The jailer pushed Rees back allowing the second jailer to draw his taser. The second jailer ordered Rees to the ground but he refused and struck the first jailer in the left side of his head.The taser was deployed causing Rees to become compliant. He was then dressed and the booking process completed.
Rees was charged with a felony count of battery in the second degree and misdemeanor counts of impairing the operations of a public facility and terroristic threatening in the second degree.
