An Arizona man is in the Taney County Jail facing a potential life sentence after being arrested Sept. 28 for a May incident involving Hollister police officers.

Jason Wert provides details of the case for the Branson Tri-Lakes News:

Jonathan Guerrero,33,  of Tucson, AZ, is facing a count of First Degree Assault on a Special Victim, a class A felony where upon conviction could bring a sentence of 10 years to life. He is also charged with six counts of Resisting Arrest/Detention/Stop by Fleeing while creating a substantial risk of serious injury or death to any person, class E felonies, which could bring up to four years in prison.

According to court documents, a Hollister police officer responded May 21, 2021 to a report a driver was speeding up and down South Maple Street. Hollister dispatch told the officer while he was on route the vehicle was a “grey in color Cadillac Escalade” and provided the vehicle’s license plate.

When the officer arrived at 2499 Maple Street, he found a vehicle matching the description and license plate parked in front of the residence. The officer spoke with a neighbor who said the vehicle belonged to Jonathan Guerrero.
