The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office said a man allegedly armed with a knife was tazed Thursday after refusing to show his hands to a deputy.

Sheriff’s Steve Cox said Thursday afternoon a Missouri Parole Officer was on U.S. 36 and located Nathan Osborne, 30 from Chillicothe who had an outstanding Chillicothe Municipal warrant for possession and a warrant for child neglect from Buchanan County. Cox said Osborne ran into the brush and timber to elude law enforcement officers.

Later that day, around 6:50 p.m. Cox said a deputy located Osborne walking on U.S. 36 west of Chillicothe.

“The suspect was now also wanted on a Probation Violation Arrest Warrant,” Cox said. “Upon approaching the area Mr. Osborne took off running towards the timber.”

Cox said the deputy yelled at Osborne and chased after him.

“Osborne tripped and fell in the timber area and refused orders to show his hands. The suspect would only show his left hand and kept his right hand hidden from the deputy,” Cox said. “The Taser was properly deployed and the deputy then saw a large knife near where the subjects’ right hand was. The suspect continued to ignore commands from the deputy to roll away from the knife and was told he would be Tazed again if he did not comply. The suspect rolled away and was handcuffed and ultimately transported to Hedrick Medical Center to be cleared for confinement.”

Osborne was transferred to the Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail. Cox said additional charges may be filed.
