Roberto Pineda, 47, of KCK, is facing one count of aggravated battery against a law enforcement officer, per court records.
Pineda allegedly ran over a KCKPD officer’s foot with a black Buick Regal while fleeing from a traffic stop around midnight on Sept. 29.
Officers found out around 4 p.m. the same day that the vehicle was parked at a business in the 2900 block of State Avenue.

The officer who fought with Pineda was treated at a hospital and released.
Pineda was released from the hospital and arrested on Oct. 2, per the KBI.
He is expected to face more charges in the fight over the officer’s gun.
