LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say a Lincoln man has been accused of breaking an officer’s them during a mental health check.

51-year-old Joseph Tyree was charged Tuesday with felony assault on an officer. He remained in jail on $5,000 bond as of Wednesday night.

The Lincoln Police Department says Officer Frank Foster arrived at Tyree’s home Monday after someone concerned about the man’s mental health requested a visit. He was outside his apartment when Foster arrived.

A police report says Tyree refused to talk to Foster and tried to go inside, but Foster grabbed him from behind to stop him. A physical altercation ensued, during which Foster reported pain in his right thumb.

Both men were treated at a hospital, and Tyree was arrested upon his release.
