On Sunday at 1:40 a.m., the Salina Police Department received a report about an intoxicated man stumbling in a parking lot at the 200 block of South Eighth Street.

Police officers found 28-year-old Nathaniel Sigloch, from Salina, walking in the roadway when they arrived.

According to Salina Police Department sergeant Kyle Tonniges, officers recognized Sigloch's extreme intoxication and transported him to a hospital for treatment.

Tonniges said during his arrest and on the way to the hospital, Sigloch resisted and punched one officer in the head — he also broke an officer's watch and body camera, valued at more than $700.

This caused officers to place Sigloch in a body wrap to restrain him while in transport.

The Salina Police Department requested charges of an intoxicated pedestrian in a roadway, battery of a law enforcement officer, interference with a law enforcement officer and damage to property.
