Ellis Edgar James, 33, of Sallisaw had a complaint filed against him Nov. 5.
Deputy Shane McHale of the Sequoyah County Sheriffs office reports that James was causing problems near the Pier 7 Store located seven miles south of Sallisaw.
The report states that James made offensive remarks to Alica Looper while she was bending down picking up her son. Looper then told her uncle about what James had said in front of her and her young son.
Her uncle approached James about what was said. James got physical, threw a punch directed at Looper’s uncle, missed and hit Cheryl Kidwell in the jaw knocking her down.
James was formally charged Dec. 11 in Sequoyah County District Court with sexual battery, a felony, and assault and battery, a misdemeanor.
