YUMA, Ariz. — A Marine arrested after scuffling with a Yuma police officer is facing two felony counts of aggravated assault.
Christopher Tucker was arraigned Tuesday in Yuma Justice Court and then returned to jail.
The Yuma Sun says a judge increased Tucker’s bond from $15,000 to $25,825 and also assigned a county public defender to represent him.
The 25-year-old Tucker is assigned to the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma.
Police say he was in a roadway yelling at cars last Thursday and allegedly attacked an officer who tried to speak with him.
After a struggle, police say Tucker tried fleeing from officers and was shot with a stun gun. He then was taken into custody and treated at Yuma Regional Medical Center.
The unidentified police officer was treated for a broken thumb.

Get out Soon Tucker!
ReplyDeleteI deployed with this Marine to Afghanistan in '09. I can tell you he is a big boy.
The Pig was lucky only his thumb got broken.
I happen to have a lot of friends in the military as well as police officers. Your comment is really an insult to a lot of people putting their lives on the line no matter what uniform they wear. How do you feel about firefighters? Do you have a bad name for them too?
