A man is arrested after assaulting officers early Monday.
Officer Erin Spilker says police were sent to Colonial Heights Apartments in the 2800 block of Tierra Drive a little before 5 AM Monday on reports of a man fighting with a woman in the area.
When they arrived, they witnessed a man, later identified as 20-year-old Gyavanni Hardesty, hitting a car with a woman inside.
When officers attempted to make contact, the Hardesty began to run away, but was stopped by additional responding officers.
Hardesty struggled, and during the scuffle wound up kicking officers multiple times.
One officer suffered so many cuts to his hand, he had to seek treatment at a hospital.
Another officer was kicked in the knee so hard it caused abrasions and significant pain.
Eventually, Hardesty was arrested and charged with two counts of 3rd degree assault on an officer, obstructing a police officer, resisting arrest, and disturbing the peace.
