COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — A handcuffed man bloodied a Chicago cop's nose with a head butt during a DUI arrest, authorities said.

Frank Campbell, 48, was pulled over at 5 p.m, Sunday in the 1100 block of West 80th Street, authorities said.

Officers were following up on a report that a dark-colored Chrysler had just gotten into a crash and driven off, authorities said.

When the arresting officer ordered Campbell out of the car he refused, saying "I'm not going anywhere." The officer then put him in handcuffs, according to police reports.

With his hands bound behind him, Campbell head butted the officer, causing the officer's nose to bleed and swell.

Campbell was charged with aggravated battery to a police officer, aggravated DUI and driving without a license Sunday, according to court records.

According to police reports and Campbell's public defender, Campbell claimed to be a part-time basketball coach in Englewood.
