An Indiana man allegedly assaulted a Waukee Police Department Officer and a Dallas County Deputy Sheriff last week after he was arrested in Waukee for public intoxication.
Elliot Sunshine Proctor, 44, of 607 S. Indiana Ave., Kokomo, Indiana, was charged with two counts of assault on persons in certain occupations, interference with official acts and public intoxication.
The incident began July 24 about 7:45 p.m. in 100 block of Laurel Street in Waukee, where officers of the Waukee Police Department responded to a report of a man “making employees uncomfortable” at a restaurant.
A no-trespass notice for the restaurant was issued to Proctor, who allegedly returned to the restaurant a short time later, when the officers “smelled the odor of alcoholic beverages coming from Proctor’s person,” and he was found to be in possession of “alcoholic beverages on his person,” according to court records.
Proctor was taken into custody by the officers, but he “refused to sit in the back of the patrol vehicle” and instead “began slamming his head into the squad car’s rear window,” according to court records.
Once at the Dallas County Jail, Proctor allegedly “intentionally spat on a Dallas County jailer,” and he “made a quick movement, simulating that he was going to physically strike an officer,” according to court records.
Proctor was held in the Dallas County Jail on a $5,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Aug. 4 in Dallas County District Court.

Whoever wrote this needs a lesson in what people from Indiana are called. Indianan is not the correct word. We are called Hoosiers.
