Man accused of attacking deputy with hatchet in Callaway County

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man was charged with multiple felonies on Thursday after he was accused of using a hatchet to attack a Callaway County deputy on Wednesday morning.

Slade Lamont, 20, was charged with first-degree assault, misdemeanor resisting arrest, unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action. He is being held at the Callaway County Jail without bond and does not have a court date set.

The probable cause statement says deputies served a search warrant at a Callaway County residence on Wednesday morning and were let in the home by Lamont’s mother.

A deputy had allegedly told Lamont to “come here” and “stop” when they saw him and Lamont ran to his room, the statement says.

A deputy followed Lamont to the room and Lamont allegedly hit the deputy in his leg with a hatchet, the statement says. Multiple deputies tried to take Lamont to the ground, but he resisted, a deputy wrote in the statement. Law enforcement ended up using a stun gun to subdue him.
