RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A Rapid City man who police subdued with a bean bag shotgun after he allegedly threatened officers with a knife has been arrested.

Police say they arrested 26-year-old T.J. Looking Horse after he was released from Rapid City Regional Hospital on Friday.

Police say Looking Horse advanced on officers last weekend after he was ordered to drop a knife he was holding.

They say he told them to shoot him. An officer stopped the man with a round from a shotgun that shoots non-lethal bean bags rather than bullets.

Looking Horse was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault on law enforcement after he left the hospital, where he underwent surgery for unspecified injuries.

It’s unclear whether he has an attorney.
