A St. Joseph man has been charged after allegedly running from officers and hiding in a home in midtown in an attempt to resist arrest.

Jonathan Ashler, 29 is charged in Buchanan County with a felony for resisting arrest.

According to a probable cause statement on Wednesday around 7 p.m. an officer with the St. Joseph Police Department tried to make contact with Ashler at the Speedy’s Convenience Store located in the 1700 block of Mitchell Ave in reference to a warrant for his arrest.

“Jonathan fled from officers but was later located inside of a residence and was found to be hiding next to a bed,” said Det. Doug Howard with the SJPD. “Officers had to struggle with Jonathan to get him into custody as he continued to resist.”

Howard said a window to the home located in the 1000 block of S. 15th was broke and one officer’s uniform was torn during the struggle.

“Even when officers were attempting to place Jonathan into the patrol car he continued to resist and would not get into the patrol car,” Howard said. “The defendant is known to abuse drugs and known to be armed and dangerous.”

Ashler is being held on $10,000 cash bail.  An arraignment is set for July 1.
