No interlock device leads to scuffle and arrest

On Thursday, Nov. 2, Lonnie Lynn Wheeler, 41, was arrested for aggravated assault, vandalism, resisting arrest, and ignition interlock device. Police responded to Kwik N Ezy in reference to a male threatening someone with a knife. Upon arrival, the store employee informed the officer that the doors had been locked to close up and a male subject was wanting inside. 

The subject got upset when he was not allowed in and placed the employee in fear of her life as the subject displayed a knife out of his pocket and made a slashing motion across his throat then waving to the clerk bye. 

He then left on a black motorcycle and went across the street to Mapco. The officer made contact with Wheeler inside of Mapco and asked him if he had any weapons.  Wheeler then placed his hands in his pockets and the officer informed him to remove his hands from his pockets and asked again if he had any weapons on his person and Wheeler replied that he had a knife. After informing Wheeler that he needed to turn around so that the officer could secure the knife for officer safely, he became belligerent and started getting loud. 

Wheeler was asked to go outside so they could talk and was asked for his identification and he started cussing at the officer and becoming more hostile towards him. Wheeler informed the officer that he was going to head butt him and lunged toward the officer at which time the officer restrained him on the hood of his patrol car and Wheeler took his leg and tried to kick the officer approximately three times and did make contact with the officer once. 

Wheeler was placed inside the back of the patrol car and once inside he kicked the back passenger-side window out. Wheeler had a conviction of DUI on March 6, 2014, and was ordered to keep an ignition interlock device on his vehicle to have a valid driver's license. The motorcycle that Wheeler was on didn't have an interlock device on it which made his license invalid. His bond was set $12,500 with a court date of Nov. 16.
