A man who fought law enforcement officers after being taken into custody for suspected drunk driving early Monday in Fort Dodge was jailed on a lengthy list of criminal charges.

A Fort Dodge police officer and a Webster County deputy sheriff suffered minor injuries in the struggle, which also resulted in damage to some items in the Law Enforcement Center.

The man is identified in criminal complaints as Ricardo Estevez Velazquez, 37, of Phoenix, Arizona.

According to court records, he is charged with these offenses:

• Assault on persons in certain occupations, intent of injury

• Assault on persons in certain occupations, bodily injury (two counts)

• Third degree criminal mischief

• First degree harassment

• Interference with official acts, bodily injury (two counts)

• Possession of a controlled substance, cannabidiol, first offense

• Fifth degree criminal mischief (two counts)

• Failure to maintain control

• Operating while under the influence, second offense

According to criminal complaints filed against him, a police officer saw Velazquez back his 2007 Honda Odyssey into the center median in the 2000 block of Fifth Avenue South and cross the lane markers at 12:39 a.m. Monday. The officer stopped the vehicle.

Velazquez failed field sobriety tests and had bloodshot, watery eyes and slurred speech, according to the criminal complaints. He was transported to the Law Enforcement Center for further testing.

At the Law Enforcement Center, he began fighting officers. He headbutted one officer twice, according to the criminal complaints. He bit that same officer on the right forearm and also caused an open wound to his left hand. A deputy sheriff received an injury to a finger.

A desk, computer keyboard and some other items were damaged.

Velazquez appeared in magistrate court Monday morning and again on Tuesday morning.

A preliminary hearing on most of the charges was set for Jan. 8. Action on the lesser offenses of failure to maintain control and fifth degree criminal mischief was continued for 180 days.

Magistrate Sarah J. Livingston set bond at $26,000 cash only.
