On April 18 at 7:25 p.m. Sgt. V. Bortchevsky while working the Tiki Bar opening weekend celebration, he observed two males engaged in a verbal altercation which escalated into a pushing match.
Bortchevsky advised the two males to exit the property. As the men began to exit, one of them, later identified as Michael Ryan Hunter, 26, of Mechanicsville, turned to Bortchevsky, took a step toward the officer, with his hands curled into fists, and loudly yelled an obscene remark.
Hunter was advised he was under arrest and began flailing in an attempt to avoid being handcuffed. After a struggle, Hunter was handcuffed and arrested.
He was charged with second degree assault on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, failure to obey a reasonable order, alcoholic beverage intoxication and resisting arrest.
