Aaron Douglas Williams, 36, Burlington, is accused of resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer who was arresting him on outstanding warrants on Sunday at the Dakota Lounge.

He is charged in district court in Minot with Class C felony simple assault on a police officer, Class A misdemeanor resisting arrest, Class A misdemeanor providing false information to law enforcement, and Class A misdemeanor possession of methamphetamine.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed with the court, a dispatcher received a tip from someone at the Dakota Lounge that Williams was there playing the slot machines. Police went to the lounge and one of the officers watched the back exit and the other made contact with Williams, who refused to give his name and then gave police a fake name. According to police, he became aggressive, refused to put his hands behind his back and then moved toward an exit. Officers ordered him to get on the ground and stop fighting and he did not. Police officers warned him multiple times and then tased him when he would not stop fighting. They gained control of Williams, handcuffed him and put him in the back of the patrol vehicle and searched him. The search turned up a plastic baggie filled with suspected meth in Williams’ pocket. One of the officers sustained a cut on her right forearm during the fight and Williams had a bruise under his left eye and a cut on his nose.

Williams was scheduled to make an initial appearance on the charges on Tuesday in district court before Judge Gary Lee.

Williams also was arrested on outstanding warrants including open cases involving Class C felony felon in possession of a firearm, Class B felony burglary, Class A misdemeanor violation of a protection order charges and Class B misdemeanor driving with a suspended driver’s license and a petition to revoke his probation on Class B felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and Class C felony possession of drug paraphernalia charges and on Class C felony bail jumping.
