A man who had to be tased at Anderson County Hospital to be brought under control after he battered two city police officers will be back in Municipal Court December 12th after a continuance in the case last week. 30-year-old Daniel Olsen was charged with two counts of battery against an officer, disorderly conduct and interference with a law enforcement officer after an incident on October 5th at Anderson County Hospital.
He was described as highly intoxicated and uncooperative with EMS staff who attempted to secure him and take him for treatment. Shortly after their arrival at the hospital, police were dispatched to the emergency room to deal with Olsen, who was being aggressive, belligerent and profane with hospital staff. Police attempted to place Olsen under arrest and had to use a taser on him to take him to custody. Olsen was later released from Anderson County Jail on bond. He was granted a court-appointed defense attorney at last week’s hearing.
