Chickasha Police Officer
injured during altercation
I By SHANNON PRECHTL -
Staff Writer
A Chickasha Police Officer was sent to the emergency room early
Saturday morning after he was choked, cut and bruised when a man
he believed was driving under the influence of alcohol resisted arrest
The man also assaulted a jailer and a Grady County Sheriff's Deputy.
Lonnie Dwayne Hatfield, 27, of Chickasha, was arrested for three
counts of assault and battery on a peace officer, resisting arrest, dri-
ving under the influence, driving under suspension and on two
municipal warrants and a McIntosh County warrant.
According to the report by Chickasha Police Officer G G. Music,
at approximately 12:26 a.m., Music stopped at Love’s North and was
notified by the clerk that she had been informed that an intoxicated
male was coming to the store. Hatfield arrived at the store shortly
thereafter and attempted to buy beer, but the clerk told him she could
not sell beer to him after midnight. Music waited until the suspect
exited the store and then spoke with him near the payphones. Music
noted that Hatfield was bleeding from his knuckles from a previous
altercation.
Music told the Hatfield that he believed he had been drinking and
was going to administer the field sobriety test to make sure he was
able to drive. Music explained the instructions of the field sobriety
test and Hatfield said he knew that because Music had given him a
field sobriety test before and that he had passed that one, the report
states.
Music reported that Hatfield did not pass the sobriety tests and
became violent when Music attempted to arrest him for driving under
the influence. Hatfield began hitting Music in the face and neck,
choking the officer and kicking him while he was proclaiming that
■ne did pass the tests.- '
Music managed to spray Hatfield with pepper spray, but Hatfield
continued to fight. Music was unable to reach his radio during the
