Imoan Hudson, 26, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment for allegedly striking a nurse at Butler Memorial Hospital on Saturday.
The nurse told officers Hudson, who earlier called 911 and said he was on house arrest with an ankle monitor and wanted to go back to jail, approached the nurses station and said he was having a panic attack.
When the nurse asked him for his finger to get a reading, he allegedly punched her on her cheek and shoulder, according to the complaint.
The nurse told officers that Hudson kept saying he wanted to go back to jail and she believes he punched her so he could.
Hudson is currently in the Butler County Jail. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 24.
