Ware Shoals man charged with attempted murder after assaulting officer

Source: Greenwood Today

According to the report, officers told Hughes he was under arrest for trespass after notice and attempted to place Hughes in handcuffs. Hughes began hitting the emergency stop button for the gas pumps and actively resisting officers. Hughes then got one officer in a choke hold, causing the officer to nearly lose consciousness. The officer was able to drive stun Hughes in the leg with a taser, but to no avail.

Hughes continued to resist other officers until they were finally able to get him in handcuffs.
