COLLEGE STATION, TX — College Station Police say a man arrested on a felony warrant attacked an officer and attempted to run away before being captured.
College Station Police officers responded to an apartment in the 400 blk. of Anderson St., College Station on Feb. 8 to attempt to locate a man who was believed to be hiding in the apartment
The man, 23-year-old Keith Cornell Pullin, was wanted on an outstanding felony warrant.
Officers say they first met with the female resident who was the girlfriend of Pullin.
The female, identified as 28-year-old Arielle Brenna Shaver, closed the door on the officers initially, but came out later and said that Pullin was not in the apartment.
She allowed officers to search the apartment and the male was located hiding in the air conditioning return space.

When the patrol officer tried to get Pullin under control, the male attacked the officer, punching, kicking, and tackling him, before running away.
The officer was injured but gave chase, and was able to get the male back into custody after a short time.
The suspect continued to resist being transported even after leg restraints were placed on him by multiple officers.
The injured officer received treatment at the scene for a large abrasion.
Pullin, a College Station resident, was arrested for an outstanding warrant from Illinois for Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance.
He was additionally charged with: Assault on a Public Servant- 3rd Degree Felony, Escape Causing Bodily Injury- 2nd Degree Felony, Criminal Mischief- Class B Misdemeanor, Resisting Arrest, Search, or Transport Class A Misdemeanor.
