A man accused of yelling and cursing outside in a Linton neighborhood early Sunday is also accused of getting into a tussle with a couple of officers.

Jordan Scott Enochs, 31, Linton, was arrested early Sunday morning, September 22, by Officer Nick Yingling of the Linton Police Department. Enochs was booked into jail at approximately 6:42 a.m.

Officer Yingling was on patrol when he was dispatched to a location on North Main Street in Linton on the report of man standing outside a residence yelling.

When Yingling arrived, the man came off the porch and Yingling recognized him as Enochs who was yelling while questioning who Yingling was. When Yingling identified himself as a police officer, Enochs allegedly used profanity to say he did not like the Linton Police Department.

LPD Officer Adam King also responded to assist and the officers informed Enochs multiple times to quiet down and stop cursing, but he allegedly did not.

While on the scene, Yingling spoke to a resident who said Enochs came to the house and started yelling about some items he wanted back. The resident did not open the door but spoke to him through a window and told him to leave.

Officer Yingling reported that while he was talking to the resident, Enochs was continuing to yell at Officer King and grabbed the officer’s arm. They both fell to the ground at that point and Yingling reported that when he tried to grab an arm, Enochs swung at him and his elbow hit Yingling in the chest. Enochs was handcuffed but allegedly continued to resist getting into a patrol vehicle.

Enochs was transported to Greene County General Hospital then transported to the sheriff’s department after he was medically cleared.

Bond was set at $5,500 surety with ten percent cash allowed.

When Enochs appears in Greene Superior Court for an initial hearing, he will be formally charged with:

Battery against a public safety official, a Level 6 felony,
Resisting law enforcement – knowingly or intentionally forcibly resisting, a Class A misdemeanor, and
Disorderly conduct – engaging in fighting or tumultuous conduct, a Class B misdemeanor.
