OAKES, N.D. (NewsDakota.com)- A Lisbon, North Dakota man is facing a pair of felony charges after assaulting police serving a warrant on him during an Oakes street dance Saturday night.

25 year old Derek William Jones has been charged with Class C Felonies of simple assault on a peace officer and preventing arrest.  A criminal complaint filed in Dickey County District Court claims Jones threw a beer at one officer, and punched another as police attempted to arrest him June 9 on a probation violation warrant out of Minnesota.

Clay County, Minnesota records show Jones was convicted in December of last year of felony fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle in 2016. He was also charged with use or possession of drug paraphernalia in that case, but had that count dismissed as part of a plea deal.

Jones is in the process of standing trial in Ransom County, North Dakota on alleigations that he raped a 15 year old girl last July and threatened to kill or harm the victim or her family if she told police.

Jones is presently in the Barnes County Jail in Valley City.
