MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Moultrie man wanted on assault and kidnapping charges was arrested while celebrating New Year’s Eve at a nightclub after a police officer working security recognized him.

According to Moultrie police, Dontarius Nathaniel Wright pulled the hood of his sweatshirt over his face when he saw an officer at about 2:04 a.m. Sunday in the crowded 50 Yard Line club.

Wright then pushed his way through the crowd and exited the building at 300 Second Ave. N.E., police said. When the officer followed, Wright ran just after he got outside.

A second officer pursued Wright, while the original officer went around the building to cut him off.

After the two officers subdued the suspect they found a prescription pill bottle inside the pocket of his jeans. Inside the bottle, police said, officers found a small amount of suspected marijuana and three white pills that police said contain codeine.

Police charged Wright, 25, with obstruction of an officer, possession of marijuana and possession of a Schedule 2 drug.

At the time of the arrest Wright was wanted on charges connected with a May 23 domestic violence case that included kidnapping, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and battery.
