A Millbury man is in jail after being indicted for resisting arrest.
A Wood County grand jury last week indicted Christopher Vincent Barge, 36, for tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony, and resisting arrest, a first-degree misdemeanor.
On Aug. 1, police were dispatched to the area of 1500 South Street in Millbury for a man walking in traffic. When police drove by the address, they observed a maroon Jeep in the driveway.
Dispatched advised that Barge, who lived at that address, was out of jail and had a probation violation warrant through Wood County.
When officers approached, they observed Barge, who matched the description of the man walking in traffic, exit the passenger side of the vehicle. The female driver ran into the house.
When told there was a warrant for his arrest, Barge allegedly began fighting and refused to comply with orders. He was taken to the ground, at which time the female came out of the house and allegedly hit one of the officers and sat on another. Burge reportedly grazed an officer’s hand with his teeth, leaving it bleeding.
A small baggie of crack cocaine allegedly was seen in his mouth. Barge reportedly said he swallowed it. After being taken to the hospital, he allegedly spit the baggie in front of officers onto the bed.
