Officers initially responded to a residence regarding a domestic dispute where a female victim alleged her boyfriend had pulled her hair and destroyed her cell phone during an argument. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived, leading officers to attempt to locate him at a different address over the following days. When officers returned to the suspect's residence to affect an arrest for domestic battery, the individual refused to comply, retreating inside and locking the door. +4 After a brief standoff, the individual exited the home but continued to be non-compliant, refusing to place his hands behind his back and pulling away from officers. The situation quickly turned physical when the suspect attempted to choke one of the officers during the struggle. To gain control of the situation, an officer deployed a taser, striking the suspect in the back, which allowed them to finally place him in handcuffs and secure the arrest. These charges are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. An arrest is not a finding of guilt: that’s something for a court to decide.
