He also faces a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charge.
According to the arrest report, officers responded to the area on a report of a subject running and yelling for help. Officers arrived and observed a man running east across a parking lot. The officer told the man to stop with negative results. The officer chased the man, caught, cuffed and detained him.

Officers learned that Larsen had been house sitting in an apartment. He said someone came to the door, opened it and sprayed him with pepper spray and then took off running. As it turns out, the somebody was a drug dealer who sprayed him with the pepper spray after attempting to sell him methamphetamine, according to the arrest report.

While telling his story, Larsen had given deputies the name of someone else which was run through dispatch. An officer told the man he wasn’t being truthful. He then told the officer his real name and date of birth.

Dispatch confirmed Larsen had a confirmed parole and probation warrant and he was to be arrested without bail on the warrant and a no bail warrant issued out of drug court. Officers found a “tooter” straw in his possession, which is commonly used to inhale methamphetamine. He was arrested on three felony charges and one misdemeanor charge.

According to the arrest report, officers were called after dispatch received a 911 call from the victim who attempted to report a domestic battery between herself and her husband. The woman said she had been kicked by by her husband. The woman told dispatch they were separated for a moment and she was calling from a bedroom.

Officers arrived and attempted to talk with the two, who were separated. The woman told the officer that her husband was very aggressive with her and had kicked her, landing a blow to the bottom of her foot when she tried to block it. No visible injury was observed, according to the arrest report.

The man told officers they had been arguing but denied he kicked his wife. He told the officers that it was his wife who was breaking the law, by calling 911 because he said there was no physical contact between the two and therefore police shouldn’t be involved.

The man insisted he was innocent and did nothing wrong. He was informed that even though he didn’t want the police involved, the woman had the right to call for help and that law enforcement was obligated to respond and investigate. Bail: $8,137.

Those arrested and facing criminal charges are innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
