One of the men then began to run from the scene and into City Lot 1. Shortly after, a patrolman located the male running across the 100 block of East Court Street. The patrolman exited his marked patrol vehicle and began to pursue the man on foot.

He yelled “police” and “stop” to the male multiple times, according to the report.

His shirt and hands were covered in dried blood, and when asked by police where all the blood came from, Heuser said he wasn’t sure, according to the report.

Heuser was treated at Wood County Hospital and then taken to jail.

He pleaded guilty Monday to the disorderly conduct with intoxication and the obstruction charges. He was fined $200 and sentenced to 100 days in jail with 88 days suspended.

The second disorderly conduct charge was dismissed.
