A 31 year-old Odessa man has been charged with felonies for resisting arrest after an incident on May 19.

According to a probable cause statement, Richard Fox III was arrested following an incident at a convenience store in Odessa. Witnesses told authorities that Fox entered a woman’s vehicle without permission and was harassing her. Customers in the store then called the police. Fox allegedly punched a customer in the face after learning the police were called and reportedly stated he had multiple warrants for his arrest. Fox then fled the scene before officers from the Odessa Police Department could arrive. Witnesses told authorities they believed Fox was under the influence of something like methamphetamine.

Authorities conducted a NCIC check and found that Fox had several warrants for his arrest. Officers later located Fox at a residence in Odessa, where he began resisting arrest and tried running away. Police detained Fox and made the arrest.

Court documents say Fox is charged with felonies for resisting arrest by fleeing, attempted escape while under arrest; and three misdemeanors. Fox is being held without bond.

Fox’s hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 8 at Lafayette County Circuit Court.
