WINONA, Minn. – A Winona man was booked at jail on a bevy of charges after backing over a curb, hitting a mailbox and going into a chain-link fence – and walking off. Such was what a police officer reported witnessing as he was driving by. This was about 6:50 p.m. in the 500 block of East Third Street. Taylor John Hock, age 36, was arrested but not easily. Ordered to stop walking away, he kept walking. The officer said he then tried to cuff Hock but the man pulled away and turned aggressive. The officer took him to the ground and, despite resistance, cuffed him. During the struggle, the officer said, he smelled alcohol from Hock. Also he said Hock’s behavior suggested he had been drugging. Hock was taken to the hospital. After being cleared medically he was taken to jail. Booking charges:
> Obstructing police with force.
> Resisting arrest.
> Driving drunk, with a revoked license, and not having proof of insurance.
> Refusing to be chemically tested.
Other charges are possible after blood sample comes back from lab testing, police said.
