State troopers attempting to take a suspect back into custody were forced to retreat after the man's father attacked them by swinging an excavator bucket towards their cruiser.

Police had arrested Brandon Tallman, 24 of Elmore on June 12 after an altercation at a home in Woodbury.

Two days later, on June 14, police attempted to retake Tallman into custody at his parents' home in Hardwick when his father, Wayne Tallman, 52, got behind the controls of an excavator and began swinging the bucket toward the troopers.
