The report also indicates Dustin Travis Nowell, 21, allegedly tried to assault an officer after he was being arrested Thursday.

According to a report from Officer Roy Ball, Nowell, of Washington Street, was charged with assault on a government official and escape from custody while resisting arrest.

Nowell was also charged with possession of methadone, possession of drug paraphernalia and carrying a concealed weapon.

He was also served a warrant for trespassing.

Police declined to comment on whether Nowell had a seizure when he crashed a 2006 Impala into a house on the 1100 block of Hamilton Street. They cited the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

Nowell was originally charged with DWI and police are awaiting lab results to determine what substance he was allegedly impaired with.

Nowell, who was first released to the custody of his parents, was jailed on a $1,300 secured bond and has a March 4 court date.

The wreck took down a utility pole and totaled the car he was driving. Damage to the house was minimal.
