A Lufkin police officer arrested a man Sunday at a gas station after the man allegedly threatened two women with a squeegee and stabbed the officer with a pen, according to a Lufkin Police arrest report.

The officer tackled Johnny Flynn Lewis, 45, in front of Chevron, 804 N. Timberland Drive, after asking Lewis to drop the rubber-edged blade, the report stated. A squeegee, a long rubber-edged blade, is typically used for window cleaning at gas stations.

"(Lewis) was standing in the parking lot swinging a squeegee. (He) was observed to be in an aggressive stance, facing two black females and hollering at them," the report stated.

As the officer took Lewis to the ground, Lewis allegedly stabbed him in the right arm with a ballpoint pen he had in hand, the report stated.

Lewis was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and assaulting a public servant — a third-degree felony offense.
