Bond is set at $15,000 cash or surety and a court date of Oct. 3 was issued. The charge stems from an incident on Sept. 1 when St. Clair County deputies were dispatched to Lowry City in reference to a domestic in progress.

Horn was located and ordered to stop several times. Each time, he failed to obey and took off running from deputies. When he approached the intersection of Griswald and Third streets, a citizen jumped out and yelled at him.  Horn turned around and charged at one of the deputies.
