Police said an officer was flagged down around 8:39 p.m. September 28 and told that 59-year-old Tony Eytcheson was at a home in the 200 block of West Adams Street. Officers were told he was walking around the house and appeared to be trying to get inside.
When officers arrived, police said they found Eytcheson coming off the front porch and walking away after seeing them.
Police said an officer stopped Eytcheson and confirmed his information with dispatch. When the officer tried to take him into custody he began fighting the officer and resisting.
Eytcheson was eventually taken into custody after being tased. He was taken to a hospital for jail clearance before being transported to the Marshall County Jail.
Eytcheson was booked on allegations involving resisting, public intoxication involving drugs, criminal trespass and battery on law enforcement.
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
