Formal charges are pending in Osage County after a law enforcement incident with a man said to be “in crisis” this week.
Osage City Police Chief Fred Nech says an officer responded to a disturbance call in the 500 block of North 12th shortly before 8 pm Wednesday. The officer tried to calm the situation, but the man allegedly grabbed a knife — forcing the officer to try to restrain the man from harming himself and the officer. Nech says the officer used his Taser after initial efforts failed.
The man has been identified as David Lehnherr, age 31 of Osage City. He was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault on law enforcement. Formal charges are pending.
