A 37-year-old Manitowoc man is in custody and facing multiple charges following an altercation with police last night. Officers were summoned to a residence in the 900 Block of South 36th Street around 8:30 p.m. for a potential overdose. They were told that he may have overdosed on heroin and was completely drunk. Officers said the man was incoherent and unable to answer basic questions. Several warrants were issued for his arrest and became uncooperative before finally being placed in handcuffs.
The suspect was taken to Holy Family Memorial Hospital for treatment when he became extremely agitated proceeding to thrash-kick and pull away from police and EMS Personnel.
The altercation left two MPD Officers injured adding he was going to kill and murder everyone. He was eventually restrained and taken to the County Jail without further incident. Recommended charges include Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Resisting Arrest, Disorderly Conduct, Threats to Law Enforcement, and two counts of Battery to Law Enforcement.
