"Officers went to the area and spoke to 34-year-old Robert Kern Jr. who showed signs of intoxication," says Chief Terry Moore. "Mr. Kern couldn't stand still."

Officers attempted to handcuff Kern and that is when he began to fight with the officers.

"The handcuffs had to be forcibly placed on him," added Chief Moore

Kern, of 1726 Linwood Dr., was arrested on charges of resisting arrest and public intoxication.
