A Casper man is accused of biting a Natrona County Detention Center Book-In Officer, while he was in jail for another matter.

Twenty-one year old Zachary Glasgow is facing one felony charge of interference with a peace officer.

The Natrona County Sheriff's Office says just before 1am on Sunday, July 19th, Glasgow was transported by law enforcement, to the Detention Center, for public intoxication.

The Book-In officer went to help the arresting officer, because Glasgow had become combative, when he was brought out of the vehicle.

He was subdued, but while he was being carried into the Detention Center, he bit the Book-In Officer in the thigh.

A nurse later noticed an abrasion.

When interviewed, Glasgow said he wanted the officers to stop controlling him, thus he bit one of them.

He is being held on $10,000 bond awaiting trial, and he could face up to 10 years in prison, if convicted.
