Busy night for Rapid City Police

According to Tarah Heupel, Community Relations Specialist with the Rapid City Police Department, Officers responded to a call Thursday around 5 PM, on East North Street to a report of two people walking in the street, disrupting traffic. The officer approached and told them they needed to stay out of the street. A little while later the same officer spotted the pair walking in the middle of North Lacrosse Street. The officer approached again and the man kicked the officer in the chest. The officer pulled out his taser and warned the suspect that he'd have to use it if he didn't cooperate. The man tried to kick the officer again and was tasered. Edward Schlepp, 49 of Rapid City was arrested for simple assault on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, and jaywalking.
