This is the father and son tag team that (allegedly) knocked out a cop

Scott and Mark Wyckoff allegedly played Fritz and David Von Erich against a couple of police officers in the Power & Light District last week.

Jackson County prosecutors charged 21-year-old Scott Wyckoff with first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer and 46-year-old Mark Wyckoff with felony interference for shoving a police officer who was trying to pull the younger Wyckoff off an unconscious cop that Wyckoff was going Dan Henderson on.

Court records allege that Scott Wyckoff tired to sneak past an ID checkpoint into the Power & Light District on August 9. A uniformed police officer tried to arrest Wyckoff, who allegedly struggled with the officer and fell on top of him. The officer was knocked out but that didn’t stop the younger Wyckoff from allegedly cracking the unconscious officer in the skull with his fists. Another officer tried to intervene. That’s when dad jumped in, allegedly trying to shove an officer off his son. .

The unconscious officer was taken to a hospital where “medical personnel determined he had bleeding on the brain,” court documents say. The docs also say: “Neurosurgeons were unsure at the time if the victim would have any permanent damage as a result of his brain injury.”

Scott Wyckoff later admitted shoving the officer to the ground and being “intoxicated” and “very aggressive” toward the officer, documents say.
