A 41-year-old woman at the residence told police she was battered by her boyfriend identified as Bryan Hall, 38, Wichita. The woman had visible injuries, according to Davidson.

When officers attempted to arrest Hall, he grabbed one officer in a bear-type hug, according to Davidson. Both the officer and Hall fell to the ground.  Hall continued to resist, kicked an officer in the face that broke the officer's body worn camera glasses.

Officers were finally able to place Hall under arrest and transport him to jail where he then spit on an officer, according to Davidson. None of the officers were seriously injured.

He was booked into jail on requested charges of domestic battery, four counts of battery of a law enforcement officer, destruction to property, resist arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of meth.

Hall has previous convictions for aggravated kidnapping, aggravated intimidation of a witness or victim and drug possession, according to Davidson.
