Battery with serious bodily injruy

On Saturday, September 1st, just after midnight, Officers were advised via radio by one of the departments volunteer units that there was a physical fight in front of the Office Bar. Upon arrival an Officer ordered both of the involved males to sit on the curb, neither of them listened. The Officer immediately detained Nokes but the second subject Banks was cursing and continued to be uncooperative. He was attempting to pull away to go after Nokes. TCSO deputies arrived and were able to assist in detaining Banks. 55-year-old Randal Banks of Sonora and 43-year-old Lance Nokes of Jamestown were arrested for Battery with Serious injury and Fighting in Public. Additional charges of Obstructing or Delaying a Peace Officer were sought against Banks.
