Two Council Bluffs Police Officers suffered minor injuries during an attempt to arrest a man Saturday night. Authorities say 26-year old Jesse Shaffer, of Council Bluffs, was arrested at around 11-p.m. on charges that include Aggravated Assault, Harassment 1^st degree, Operating While Intoxicated, and for two counts of Assault on Peace Officer.

He was taken into custody after officers were dispatched to 3408 37^th Avenue in Council Bluffs for a disturbance involving a man armed with a semi-automatic pistol.  Shaffer allegedly threatened to shoot one of the occupants of the house.  Officers arrived on scene and were told Shaffer fled the scene on foot to an open field to the north of the residence.

Officers set up a perimeter and waited for K-9 Units from Omaha to assist in the search.  As the K-9 Officer arrived and began to clear the immediate area around the house, Omaha Police helicopter Able 1 arrived on scene to assist in the search.  After about an hour officers received information that Shaffer was picked up by another party and transported out of the area.

The perimeter was shut down and two officers were still on scene when Shaffer arrived back at the house.  Officers approached the man and ordered him to show his hands, but Shaffer was uncooperative, and would not comply with officers.  As he fought with officers, one of the officers deployed his Taser, but it had no affect on Shaffer, who continued to fight with officers and not comply with instructions.

Once taken into custody, Shaffer was treated by the Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue personnel, and then transported to the Pottawattamie County Jail.
