Timothy J. Reaggle, 20, of Wellsville, allegedly attacked two Columbiana County Sheriff's Office deputies Monday shortly after learning he would spend a year in prison in a separate case, according to local reports.
Columbiana County Sheriff Brian McLaughlin told WFMJ that both deputies suffered broken bones but have since been released from the hospital.
Video released by the sheriff's office shows a deputy escorting Reaggle down a hallway after his sentencing. Reaggle then suddenly breaks free of his handcuffs and allegedly punches the deputy before sprinting away.

As he runs down the hallway, Reaggle is seen crashing into another deputy, knocking him to the ground.
Reaggle then allegedly headed toward the courthouse exit, where video shows him sliding down the steps and racing toward the front doors before he was subdued with a Taser and taken into custody.
The video also shows people rushing to assist the injured deputies. One deputy was later seen lying on the floor, bleeding from the head and holding a paper towel against his face, according to WFMJ.
Reaggle had just been sentenced to one year in prison in a case dating to Feb. 14, 2025, according to WKBN.
He pleaded guilty in July to charges including aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, aggravated menacing, failure to comply and two misdemeanor counts of assault.

According to WFMJ, McLaughlin said those charges are expected to include assault on a police officer and felony escape.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
