Welcome to Arrest Stories. A thirty-eight-year-old man faces multiple charges after allegedly ramming a patrol car and assaulting a deputy during a trespassing incident in Leigh. Here's what may have happened.
On Saturday evening, authorities responded to a report of someone trespassing in a garage in Leigh. When deputies arrived at the scene, they encountered Jeffrey Wegener, who was allegedly on the property without permission.
The situation quickly escalated when Wegener allegedly assaulted a deputy on scene. According to police reports, Wegener then got into his vehicle and rammed a patrol car with his car, creating a dangerous confrontation with law enforcement officers.
Deputies deployed a taser on Wegener during the incident to subdue him. Following the use of the taser, Wegener was medically cleared by medical personnel before being transported to custody.
Wegener was subsequently arrested and faces several serious charges stemming from the Saturday evening incident. He has been charged with first-degree criminal trespass for allegedly being on the property without authorization. Additionally, he faces charges of assaulting an officer with a motor vehicle related to the alleged ramming of the patrol car.
The thirty-eight-year-old also faces third-degree assault of an officer or health care professional charges connected to the alleged physical altercation with the deputy. Further charges include first-degree resisting arrest and obstructing a police officer, both related to his alleged actions during the confrontation with law enforcement.
After being medically cleared at the scene, Wegener was transported to the Platte County Detention Center where he was booked on the multiple charges. The incident occurred entirely on Saturday evening in Leigh, with the trespassing report leading to the series of alleged confrontations with deputies.
The charges against Wegener carry significant potential penalties, particularly the assault charges involving law enforcement officers and the use of a motor vehicle as a weapon against a patrol car.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
