Lancaster County Sheriff’s deputies were called to Hickman Bar and Grill around 10:30 Tuesday night for a man who was causing a major disturbance and refusing to leave. Chief Deputy Ben Houchin says the man was told seven to eight times to leave the business and was bothering patrons and reportedly biting some of them.
Houchin said a female deputy was two minutes away and responded alone. “Her closest backup was in Waverly and on the interstate.” Houchin says when she got there 35-year-old Raymond Norton of Lincoln was the man being disruptive.
“She was able to get him into custody,” Houchin says. “Very proud of out deputy.” Houchin thanked some of the bar patrons who assisted the deputy until backup arrived. “The problem occurs that once he was in handcuffs, he began to figure out he was going to jail and started to resist.”
