Demontra Lamont Akin, 22, of Paris, was arrested at 10:11 A.M. on Monday, March 30, 2015 in the 300 block of Stone Avenue.
Akin was known to have an outstanding warrant for failing to appear for a court date on a manufacturing or delivery of a controlled substance charge.
Akin reportedly identified himself with a wrong name and as the officer attempted to place handcuffs on him, Akin spun away and fled from the officer.
As Akin was attempting to get away from the officer, the officer’s hand became entangled in the handcuffs and received a laceration and a possible broken finger.
Akin was located hiding inside an apartment and was arrested. He was charged with escape causing bodily injury, and failing to identify as a fugitive along with the felony warrant.
The officer did seek medical attention.
Akin was later transferred to the Lamar County Jail.
