Sallisaw Police Officer Travis Buchanan and Detective John Weber arrived at Security Finance at 11:20 a.m. Tuesday after an employee called and said a man who was armed with a knife was making threats.
When police found Biggerstaff, 37, he was told to raise his hands and get onto the floor. According to the report Biggerstaff took a defensive stance and clinched his fists and said, “You take me and I’ll take you!”
Buchanan fired his taser. Biggerstaff fell on the ground and was handcuffed and taken to Sallisaw City Jail where he was booked on simple and aggravated assault.
The employee at Security Finance told officers Biggerstaff became upset when he was informed he could not get a loan.
“I could see a knife clipped to his front pocket and it looked like he was reaching for it while he was taking off his jacket and making threats,” the employee said.
According to the report, Biggerstaff told officers, “I did not make any threats with a knife but I was going to use some of them black belt moves I got.”
