The Lake City Police Department responded to a disturbance Sunday (June 21) that ended in battery on a police officer.

Officer Elijah Serrano responded to the location of 575 N.E. Broadway Ave. Upon arrival, he made contact with one of the suspects involved, Kenneth Woody, 18.

Officer Serrano was trying to check on Woody's well-being because it appeared that Woody was involved in a fight before police arrived.

Woody struck Serrano's left hand and chest twice before fleeing the scene. Charges will be filed on Woody for battery on a police officer.
