A 19-year-old Sedalia man charged with a drug-related felony after a reported incident earlier this month in Cooper County has a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
A Cooper County Deputy’s report says on June 8 authorities were dispatched to the area of Wildlife Road and Northbridge in Otterville in reference to a physical disturbance. The suspect was identified as Marcos Achiquen-Aleman and was reportedly under the influence of narcotics and asking people to kill him and fight him.
Upon arrival, deputies located Achiquen-Aleman lying on his back on the bank of the Lamine River. He was taken into custody and told deputies he had taken acid. He also reportedly admitted to deputies he had acid inside his vehicle and wallet. During a vehicle search, deputies located what they say fit the description of an LSD-type drug.
While being checked, Achiquen-Aleman spit on the chest of a medic on the scene.
Achiquen-Aleman has been charged with a Class D Felony for Possession of a Controlled Substance and a misdemeanor for assault of a special victim. He posted surety bond on Monday, June 15.
A hearing in this case is scheduled to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 16 at Cooper County Circuit Court.
