Police arrested a 25-year-old man Saturday after he allegedly fought with three officers.
Juriah Roncal, of Dunbar, caught the attention of a GoMart employee on Sixteenth Street. Roncal was not supposed to be at the location because of a previous incident, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha Magistrate Court.
An officer later found him riding a bike on Charleston Avenue. As the officer stepped out of his car, Roncal reportedly said the police weren't going to stop him from going where he wanted.
Roncal then tried to escape on his bike, making it to Lightner Avenue before throwing down his bike and facing the officer - both fists raised, according to the complaint.
The officer used a Taser on Roncal but it had no effect, the complaint states. After another short chase, Roncal again faced the officer and then punched him in the head, according to the complaint.
Two more officers arrived and the group struggled to put Roncal in handcuffs. He punched one officer and grabbed the other's neck before they could finally arrest him, according to the complaint. Police charged Roncal with obstructing and battery on an officer.
He remained at South Central Regional Jail in lieu of a $5,000 bond Monday morning.
