An Illinois man is accused of throwing a tomahawk at a sheriff’s deputy while the deputy was attempting to arrest the man on charges of sexual assault to a child, NBC affiliate WANDTV is reporting.
Kevin Funk, 29, of Milford, is charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery to a peace officer in addition to predatory criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse, WANDTV reports.
The Iroquois Sheriff’s Office says one of its deputies went to Funk’s home to arrest him on the sex assault charges and suffered a fractured arm, dislocated finger and cut on his arm that required multiple stitches after Funk threw the hatchet at him.
Funk was arraigned in Iroquois County Circuit Court on Monday afternoon.
