WINONA, Minn. – Police took down a man who resisted arrest violently in a Kwik Trip parking lot after a savage break-in at an ex-girlfriend’s apartment. Arrested was Airon Kamar Wiggins, 30, of Winona. Police had taken a 911 call from the girlfriend, who said Wiggins had banged on her apartment door and then bashed it in and threw things around and cursed her angrily with crude epithets. As she was calling 911, she said, he grabbed her car keys and fled. This was in the 50 block of Links Lane on the Far East End. Police found the splintered apartment door and broken lock and mayhem inside. Soon thereafter an officer spotted the girlfriend’s missing car in a roundabout and turned on his suaad lights. The driver pulled into the Kwik Trip on Homer Road. There, the officer said, Wiggins climbed out of the car, walked toward officer, and asked to be shot. He was told to put his hands in the air but refused. When the officer tried to cuff him, he tensed his arms in resistance, police said. When a backup officer arrived, he gave the still non-complying Wiggins a V-jab to a peroneal leg nerve. He fell to the ground in transitory agony and, finally, was cuffed. Wiggins as booked about 1 :15 a.m.
Wiggins. Booked for violation of a no-contact order, domestic abuse, burglary and auto theft.
