Nelson appeared intoxicated and became belligerent with the officer and Nelson tried walking away, ignoring the Joliet police commands to halt. That officer tried to place Nelson into custody and Nelson resisted the arrest by refusing to be handcuffed.
Nelson was taken to the ground and was placed into custody without further incident. Back at the downtown police station, Nelson refused to cooperate with booking procedures. He was then brought to the Will County Adult Detention Facility.
Nelson stayed in the jail for 48 hours, and he regained his freedom on Tuesday during supper time.
