Landis attempted to speak to the man, who fled on foot through a field near the intersection. Landis pursued him and other Kay County deputies arrived, along with Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Langston, to assist Landis.

The subject was found and taken into custody.

Undersheriff Sean Grigsba said the subject is facing charges of assault and battery, resisting arrest and outstanding Kay County warrants.
