(KAIR)--An Effingham man is facing charges, in part connected to the allegation that he used a knife during a domestic dispute to cut his victim.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, Atchison County Sheriff’s Deputies on Sunday attempted to make contact with the suspect, 27-year-old Anthony Martinelli, and when they did, Laurie says “he resisted arrest and attempted to flee on foot.”

Atchison County’s K9 officer was deployed, and that led to the arrest of Martinelli, who was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

He faces charges for aggravated battery and interference with law enforcement officers.

The cut suffered by Martinelli’s victim required stitches.
