An Adairsville man remained in jail Monday, Jan. 17, after he allegedly ran from a Floyd County police officer before threatening to slit the officer’s throat and eventually punching another cop in the face, reports stated.

According to Floyd County Jail records:

Todd Alan McBurnett, 37, of 184 Woody Road, Adairs-ville, was clocked going 73 mph in a 55 mph zone on Ga. 140 Sunday evening. When the officer tried to pull over the car McBurnett was driving, the suspect sped up, driving a half-mile across the county line and into Bartow County.

When McBurnett did finally pull over, he refused to exit the vehicle and the officer said he had to point his gun at McBurnett.

The suspect was eventually arrested after refusing a roadside sobriety test.

“If I were an outlaw I would slit your throat,” McBurnett reportedly told the officer while on the way to the Floyd County Jail.

Once at the jail McBurnett refused to walk through the metal detector. He became agitated with police and punched an officer in the face. McBurnett later had to be subdued using a taser.

He was charged with three felonies: fleeing or attempting to elude police, terroristic threats and acts and obstruction or hindering law enforcement officers. He also was charged with four misdemeanors: driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, possession of less than one ounce marijuana, obstructing law enforcement and speeding.
