A northwestern Iowa man is in deeper trouble with the law after a chase earlier this week. The LeMars man who fled from police who were investigating a domestic assault complaint faces more charges after becoming combative while being held in the Sioux County Jail. 39-year-old Randall Hurlbut was arrested Monday when the pursuit ended near LeMars. Hurlbut allegedly flooded his cell by plugging shower and toilet drains, then attacked officers who entered the cell. One officer was taken to the hospital with a shoulder injury. Hurlbut was taken to a Sioux City hospital where he’s being held under a restrained security watch for mental and substance abuse evaluation.
