Doak #3241, was operating marked cruiser 1179 and in full uniform. At approximately 1214 hours I was dispatched to a domestic assault and battery in progress. T roo per Macomber, State Police Shelburne Falls desk Officer, advised that several wi nesses observed a black male . striking and physically assaulting a white female in front of Buckland Pizza, located at the intersection of State St and Bridge St, Buckland. The bl ck male was reported to have placed his hands on the females neck, pushing her : into a parked vehicle. while keeping his hands on her neck pinning her against the vehicle. While enroute I was advised by Trooper Macomber that the witnesses were still on scene and that the involved parties were observed . entering a blue SUV (sport utility vehicle). Per the witnesses the black male released the female when he observed my cruisers emergency lights. 3. Upon arrival I observed a blue SUV being operated by a black male, with a white female front seat passenger. As I approached the vehicle I observed several female parties ointing to the blue SUV. The female parties were seated in front of a large bay window, inside Buckland Pizza. The operator and passenger were an exact match provided by witnesses. With the information provided by witnesses I had probable cause to believe that the' operator of the SUVwas the described black male who physically assaulted the female passenger. With my emergency lights activated the vehicle, bearing MA IC86DG, pulled into a parking spot in fr nt of Buckland Pizza. As I exited my cruiser I observed the front seat passenger, later identified as Bryant, Veronique DOB 04/05/1968, exit the vehicle from the front passenger door. I asked Veronique if she was ok, to which she stated yes. I observed the front drivers side door to be open, and unoccupied. I advised Veronique to remain with her vericle and walked to the drivers side of the vehicle. I observed a black male, matching the description provided by witnesses, standing next to the vehicle. The black male was later identified as BRYANT, Howard V DOB 11125/1968. I observed BRY NT to have his hands in his pockets. Ina loud clear voice I ordered BRYANT to remove his hands from his pockets and place his hands behind his back. BRYANT failed to comply with my request. I again ordered BRYANT to keep his hands out of his pockets and to place his hands behind his back. I advised BRYANT he was being placed under arrest for domestic assault and battery. As I attempted to secure BR ANT'S left hand he raised his elbow, pulled his arm away from me, while tensing his arms, BRYANT physically failed to comply with my order. BRYANT continued to raise his elbows, swinging his torso from left to right. As BRYANT was raising his elbows, his left elbow struck me directly in the chest. BRYANT continued to resist my. orders and physically attempted to pull his arms away from me continually. I attempted an arm bar take down, physical restraint used to secure a non compliant subject, on BRYANT'S left arm. BRYANT continued to resist. BRYANT was advised to stop resisting. At this time I was assisted by Sergeant Cadran (State Police Shelburne Falls), Officer Philips (Shelburne Falls Police Department), and Officer Herbert (Buckland . Police Department). . 4.
