During handcuffing, he struggled and resisted the officers attempt to handcuff him.  Officers searched under the bed where he had been hiding and recovered a black zipper pouch containing methamphetamine and a syringe. Eschliman was arrested for the Madison County warrant, obstructing a peace officer, resisting arrest and possession of a controlled substance.  He was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
