Police say officers were attempting to place Spencer Powell into protective custody at a Lincoln behavioral health facility early Saturday, just after midnight Friday, following a disturbance. Police say Powell became uncooperative and charged at officers after his restraints were removed.
While trying to subdue him again, police say, Powell head-butted an officer before being arrested and booked into the Lancaster County Jail on suspicion of third-degree assault.
