Lincoln Police say a 25 year old man who was found asleep in his vehicle in the parking lot of the Kwik Shop near 14th and Adams Monday night ended up in jail causing all kinds of problems.

Captain Todd Kocian says a passerby saw Delano Proctor in his vehicle and called 911.  Officers arrived and found Proctor inside his locked vehicle.  Kocian says Proctor woke up and when he saw officers near his vehicle he started his vehicle and began looking for a path to leave.

“Proctor then backed up, nearly pinning an officer between the vehicles.  Proctor tried going forward once again, then backed up striking the police cruiser and another vehicle before leaving the parking lot,” Kocian says.   Officers briefly pursued Proctor before he crashed into another vehicle near 14th & Military, which disabled his vehicle.

Proctor was ordered out of his vehicle several times but refused to come out and continued to try and drive the vehicle.  An NSP Trooper then shot ed pepper balls into the vehicle and Proctor was taken into custody shortly thereafter.

Proctor was arrested for 2nd degree attempted assault on an officer, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony and flee to avoid arrest.  He was also cited and released resisting arrest, willful reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, 1st offense DUI, refusing a chemical test, open container in motor vehicle, driving during suspension, no proof of ownership and no proof of insurance.
