LET’S WRASSLE!
A Brighton man was arrested for assault and battery March 11 after allegedly wrestling a traffic enforcement officer.
The officer was issuing citations to vehicles outside a bar when the owner of a Corvette he had ticketed, along with a companion, confronted the officer.
The owner of the car allegedly told the officer he would pay the ticket.
The other man reportedly verbally assaulted the officer, at one point going “nose to nose” with him.
The suspect reportedly said, “I hope you choke on the next burger you eat.”
He then allegedly pushed the officer, who did not respond. According to a report, the suspect then forced the man to the ground and wrestled him.
After the fight, the manager of the bar reportedly helped the suspect into the bar. The owner of the car allegedly also fled the scene.
When people searched the bar, they did not find the suspect, the report said. The manager told police he had fled down an alley.
