HOLLY SPRINGS -- A man whom Holly Springs police had arrested early today was charged with assault on three officers and threatening to kill one of them when they were trying to execute a warrant that allowed them to draw a blood sample in connection with his arrest.
Police charged Shawn Michael Tippett, 27, of 2713 Holland Road in Apex with assault on a government employee, communicating threats and malicious conduct by a prisoner.
Tippett, police said, kicked one officer in the head and chest and a second officer in the leg and spit at a third. He told one of the officers, "I know where to find you, and I'll ... kill you," according to arrest warrants.
