A Camden County prosecutor has charged a Kansas man after a vehicle chase ended and the man allegedly assaulted a deputy while trying to escape.

Daniel Hague is charged with first-degree assault and resisting arrest.

On Saturday, a Camden County Sheriff’s deputy observed a vehicle speeding on Horseshoe Bend Parkway. The deputy was able to subdue the suspect at the hotel entrance. Hague allegedly resisted arrest by hitting the deputy multiple times with a sharp object causing numerous cuts to the deputy’s forehead and near the deputy’s eye.

Hague is being held in the Camden County Adult Detention Facility without bond. A bond hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
