Police said he rammed the locked doors on the eastern side of the mall near the American Cafe with his SUV and drove across almost the entire second floor of the mall.
He was boxed in by deputies as he broke a second set of doors near the food court and proceeded to punch and elbow a sheriff's deputy before being subdued with pepper spray and a baton, a sheriff's report said.
