Lincoln Man Charged After Attacking Two and Stealing Car

A Lincoln man’s facing felony assault, resisting arrest and other charges after the Benton County Sheriff’s Office says he broke into a home, stole a car and got into a fight with a sheriff’s deputy who tried to arrest him. A department spokesperson says 22-year old Brian DePriest, Jr. forced his way into a Spring Lake Drive home and demanded the residents give him a ride out of the county. The department alleges he attacked them with a knife, stole a car and then crashed. He’s in the Benton County jail on a $250,000 bond.
