Police: Skateboard used to attack statue

   A man is accused of using a skateboard to
   repeatedly strike a statue of a police officer
   and a child outside the Sioux Falls Law
   Enforcement Center. Jacob Adam Korst, 25,
   of Sioux Falls was arrested after fleeing from
   authorities, police spokesman Loren McManus
   said. Korst is facing charges of intentional
   damage to property, resisting arrest, fleeing
   from police and simple assault. A deputy had
   walked out of the jail Thursday when he
   heard Korst yelling profanities at him and
   then repeatedly striking the statue, McManus
   said. Korst left the area while the deputy
   called for assistance. Police caught up with
   Korst and Korst ran from them. Korst ran
   back toward where the deputy was, held up
   his skateboard in front of him and ran into
   the deputy, McManus said. The deputy was
   not hurt, and Korst did not appear to be
   drunk or under the influence of drugs,
   McManus said.
