A reasonable assumption, unless his name is Sandy Burglar...
Wait.
...never mind.
Police said when the officer asked Jerald Newman about the video game he put in his waistband, he began flailing his arms.
“As the officer put handcuffs on the suspect, he resisted arrest, flailing his arms and pulling away from the officer backing up,” said Buckeye Police Asst. Chief Larry Hall.
A leg sweep was used on Newman, who hit his head when he fell and began bleeding, police said.
“There’s nothing on the surface to indicate our officer did anything inappropriate. It’s difficult to arrest an individual because you don’t know how that individual is going to react.”
Because force was used in the arrest, the incident is under investigation. The officer involved is still on the job.
54-year-old Jerald Newman was arrested after he was treated at a local hospital. He faces charges of resisting arrest and shoplifting.
Love it when people don’t read or ignore the entire article. Love the overuse of the word Grandpa.
