After being pulled over by state police on Oct. 15, and made aware of an outstanding warrant against him by city police, 36-year-old Joshua James Snyder allegedly became irate, an affidavit said.
Snyder allegedly grabbed hold of a patrol vehicle brush guard and refused to release it, necessitating three officers to remove him.
Snyder then allegedly tensed up, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and began swinging his shoulders around and pulling away despite the deployment of police tasers, court documents said.
Despite eventually falling to the ground, Snyder allegedly continued to resist, including striking one officer with a closed fist, after which officers again used a taser and were able to get control of him.
Even after being taken into custody, Snyder allegedly continued to pull away, insisting that the warrant was not valid, police said in court filings.
Snyder was arraigned by District Judge Kirsten Gardner, and jailed in lieu of $25,000 bail.
