AMBOY – A 33-year-old Plano man who likely was drunk and high when he was arrested for a misdemeanor brought on an additional pile of felony charges by piling it on with the deputies trying to take him in, the Lee County sheriff said in a news release.

Joseph Scull, a felon with multiple convictions in Kendall County, was arrested at 4:30 Sunday afternoon near the intersection of Mason Avenue and Joe Drive in Amboy.

Scull was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating compound, a misdemeanor, but then he kicked a window out of the squad car, damaged a door, and bit and spit at the deputies trying to take him in, the release said.

No one was seriously injured, but the additional histrionics netted him nine counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer, punishable by 3 to 7 years in prison; one count of criminal damage to government supported property, which carries 2 to 5 years, and two counts of misdemeanor resisting.

He is in Lee County Jail on $500,000 bond and he has a preliminary hearing Wednesday..

It’s not his first go-round with the men in blue: Scull was convicted of several felonies in Kendall County between 2003 and 2010, including dealing meth, DUI and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, knowingly damaging property, and the last, in 2010, for aggravated battery of an officer, for which he was sentenced to 7 years.
