A Griffith man who was on bail will face Griffith Local Court after allegedly assaulting police and resisting arrest.
Acting inspector Paul Rosano informed Region the incident occurred at 2:40 am on Sunday (22 September).
Police attended a licensed premises on Banna Avenue, where they observed a 28-year-old male on the footpath outside the venue allegedly holding a can of Jim Beam. The man was known to be on bail conditions that prevented him from consuming alcohol.
Officers questioned the male, who stated he had been inside the club consuming alcohol. Police deemed he was in breach of his current bail conditions and the officers placed him under under arrest.
Police allege the man became agitated and aggressive and grabbed hold of the left arm of one of the police officers. The officers instructed the male to let go of the constable’s arm, but he failed to comply and continued to resist and pull away from the police as they attempted to place him into the police vehicle.
The 28-year-old was subsequently brought to the ground and handcuffed.
While on the ground, police allege the accused continued to be uncooperative and aggressive towards them and grabbed a hold of a second officer’s arm as he resisted arrest.
The male was eventually placed into the rear of the police vehicle and taken back to Griffith Police Station, where he was charged with assaulting police, resisting/hindering police in the execution of their duty, and breaching bail.
He will appear before the Griffith Local Court at a later date.
