Back-up officers from MRPD and MPD arrived and they too were forced to struggle with the suspect before finally getting him under control and under arrest. The suspect was taken into custody by MPD and charged him with several crimes including assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and as a fugitive from justice on the 1st degree felony assault warrant.
