A 40-year-old Centralia man has been arrested for aggravated battery to a nurse, two counts of aggravated battery to a security officer, and resisting arrest.
Centralia Police say the arrest of Cory Wooldridge of Geary Street follows an altercation while being treated early Thursday morning in the emergency room of SSM Health Good Samaritan Hospital.
Since Wooldridge had been medically cleared to leave the hospital, he was taken to the Marion County Jail to await a decision on formal charges and a first court appearance.
