A North Carolina man with a lengthy rap sheet is back behind bars after allegedly assaulting a police officer at a local hospital.
Justin Wilkes, 37, was taken into custody on Wednesday after he allegedly hit a campus police officer in the head at ECU Health Medical Center in Greenville, according to WBTV.
Wilkes allegedly had been ordered to leave the property, resulting in an argument in which Wilkes began yelling at the officer, the outlet reported.

Wilkes was later arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer, disorderly conduct and resisting a public officer, according to jail records obtained by Fox News Digital.
