Subject taken into custody on Main Street following complaint of a fight

By Howard B. Owens

A few minutes ago, Batavia PD took a subject into custody in the 200 block of East Main Street.

The subject was seen struggling with police after he was handcuffed.

The initial indication is he will be charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

We don't have details yet on the situation, but minutes prior to his arrest there was a complaint of two male subjects fighting, with one possibly having a baseball bat, at an other location. Sgt. John Peck said he was only aware of a verbal argument proceeding the arrest.

Mercy EMS was dispatched to Batavia Police HQ for a subject who had been sprayed with pepper spray.

UPDATE 4:23 p.m.: The subject at the police station refused medical treatment.

Temper temper, boys! Fighting with the cops is just stupid. Hit one of them and 10 more show up to put the hurt onto you. Pepper spray has got to make you have a really bad day, and at the end of that day, they go home, you don't.
