FARGO (KFGO) – The man accused of shooting McIntosh County Sheriff Steve Delzer and assaulting an officer in the Stutsman County Correctional Center is now facing two more felony charges for spitting on deputies at the Cass County Jail.
Court documents say Elklin Gomez, 26, of Seattle, Washington spit on two Cass County Jail Deputies Wednesday. Gomez also reportedly tried to punch a deputy and break away from a group of deputies.
In May, Gomez was charged with attempted murder after an exchange of gunfire that resulted in McIntosh County Sheriff Steve Delzer being shot in the hand. He’s also accused of hitting a McIntosh County Deputy in the head with a tire jack.
Gomez allegedly also beat up a Correctional Officer in the Stutsman County Correctional Center in September. Gomez reportedly became angry and attacked, punching the officer and headbutting them. Court documents say the officer had redness on their neck and chest, was bleeding, and suffered a fractured nose during the fight. The officer said he thought Gomez was trying to kill him.
After the incident in the Cass County Jail Wednesday, Gomez could be charged with contact by bodily fluids.
