An Ohio man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly assaulted a police officer inside a Franklin, Ohio McDonald’s. 39-year-old Chester Ricky Nichols Jr. was arraigned Tuesday in Franklin Municipal Court and charged with assault on a safety officer, obstructing official business, and possession of drug abuse instruments. Franklin Police Department Officer Patrick Holland was dispatched at 9:33 p.m. Friday to the McDonald’s restaurant to check on a report of a man possibly overdosing. During Holland’s investigation, Nichols attempted to flee. Police Chief Russell Whitman said Nichols ripped the officer’s stun gun and holster from his vest and struck the officer several times. Nichols also allegedly tried to grab the officer’s handgun from his holster. The police report said three syringes and an off-white, small rock were found in Nichols’ possession. Nichols was taken to a local hospital for facial injuries and was treated and released before being taken to the Warren County Jail. (https://on-ajc.com/2KEtsZb)

WEIRD NEWS:Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
Dramatic video posted online captured part of a police chase through a school zone in a southern Alberta village that ended with three arrests and the seizure of $20,000 worth of stolen maple syrup. The video, posted to Facebook on Wednesday by Longview resident and Foothills Fire Department member Sam Leak, shows a silver car traveling at high speeds through the small town with four police vehicles in hot pursuit. Constable Michael Hibbs confirmed the video shows part of a chase that started northeast of Nanton just after 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday after Mounties spotted a truck and cargo trailer reported stolen out of Chestermere earlier that morning. Hibbs said spike strips were used twice to immobilize the vehicle, taking out all four of the car’s tires before it came to stop. Mounties recovered the stolen truck and trailer, along with $20,000 worth of maple syrup. (https://bit.ly/2E5oVi4)

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by FunkyMonkeyShirts.com 
A man in Oregon who led police on a chase through the streets of Happy Valley ended up with a broken leg after he jumped out of a rolling car and was hit by his still-rolling vehicle. The Clackamas County Sheriff's office said a Happy Valley patrol officer responded to a call about a theft in progress Monday night, when he spotted 31-year-old suspect Isaiah John Gellatly inside a parked Honda lying back in the fully-reclined driver's seat. Officers approached the vehicle and shined a light into the Honda. That's when the driver sat up, put the car in drive, and took off. Police began to chase after Gellatly, radioing ahead for assistance. Gellatly’s tires were punctured by spike strips and he jumped out of the still-moving vehicle. While still running alongside the vehicle, he attempted to cut in front of it, but didn't make it and ended up being pinned under the Honda. Gellately was arrested on suspicion of attempting to elude police, reckless driving, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, and theft. (https://ihr.fm/2Rgjf7S)
