♦ Nathan Latta, 25, in court Monday when the judge hearing his case raised his bond to $100,000 for a failure to appear in court. When Latta learned his bail got raised, he attempted to flee the courtroom only to be tackled by a bystander who wrestled him to the floor. Soon Sheriff’s deputies joined in. While one struggled to handcuff Latta, a second attempted to electronically stun him into submission. When the first stun failed, the other deputy tried to slow Latta by cutting his wind with a choke hold. Writhing around on the floor more deputies joined in subduing Latta.
Latta, handcuffed and winded, was brought to the Magistrate’s office where he was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, escape, and injury to personal property for damaging a deputy’s eye-glasses. His bond was now set at $500,000.
Already on probation in Iredell County for February 2012 drug possession conviction, Latta’s record includes convictions for common law robbery, possession of stolen goods, larceny, burning personal property, and assault and battery. In August Latta was charged with child abuse and inflicting serious bodily injury. Just last week Latta was charged at a traffic stop at Liberty Street near North Fulton Street in Salisbury, N.C. At the time Latta was in the company of a woman who obtained a 50-B domestic violence protective order against him. According to the terms of the protective order Latta was ordered to stay away from the woman.
