A Lincoln County man is facing some serious charges after he allegedly attempted to suffocate a constable serving a warrant.

According to a criminal complaint, Travis Hancock was pulled over for expired tags by Constable Delbert Mitchell. When Mitchell ran Hancock through Bluegrass 911, a warrant came back.

Documents say that when Constable Mitchell informed Hancock of the warrant in his name, he began begging him to let him go. That’s when Hancock exited the vehicle and allegedly got into a physical altercation with the Constable.

Constable Mitchell told authorities that Hancock tried to flee. After pulling Hancock down to the ground, Mitchell says the suspect tried to hold his face down in the snow and mud in an attempt to suffocate him. After freeing himself, Mitchell told investigators that Hancock kicked him and gouged his eye with his thumb, causing damage to his cornea.

The documents state that after the assault, Hancock ran back to his vehicle, jumped in it and took off. Another person is said to have been in the vehicle at the time of the assault and the complaint alleges that the passenger never attempted to intervene or call for help.

Officials with the Lincoln County Detention Center, tell LEX 18 that Hancock’s warrant was for failure to pay fines. He would have most likely been out of jail in a few days. He is now charged with attempted murder of a police officer and fleeing and evading.

He will face a judge Monday afternoon.

After the clerk said she would need to call the credit card company to verify the woman’s identity, the woman asked for the ID and credit card back and left the store with He, the complaint states.

Zhang and He were found in a vehicle leaving the mall property, and police recovered credit cards — some of them cut up — that belonged to other people. Police also found merchandise totaling more than $65,000 and gift cards, according to the complaint.

The merchandise came from several Twin Cities stores, including American Eagle Outfitters, Wilson Leather and Kay Jewelers in Eagan.

Zhang told officers he was the driver and was forced to drive He and the woman, who investigators had not yet located, because he had a gambling debt and did not want to get beat up, the complaint states.

Zhang’s attorney, Jennifer Speas, declined to comment on the case. An attorney listed for He could not be reached Wednesday.

Dallas police allege that two men used social media to lure a 15-year-old girl into their child sex trafficking operation.

The victim, who was arrested as a runaway, told investigators said Mike Osorio and Rafael Rodas, both 20, used Facebook to make contact with her.

The girl led police to an Oak Cliff residence in the 400 block of North Patton Avenue.

“Evidence supporting the victim’s statement of a sexual assault and human trafficking was found at the location,” Sherwin told reporters at a Saturday morning news conference.
