Police Arrest Rockland Man After Bar Dispute

A Rockland County man's dispute with police outside of a White Plains bar led to misdemeanor charged early Saturday morning after police say he refused police orders to calm down.

Security at the at 166 Westchester Ave. told police the man, 32, was ejected from the bar around 1:20 a.m. for pushing women inside. Police say the man was fighting security to get back into the bar when they arrived.

After police asked the man to leave the area, arrest reports say he cursed at police and refused to listen. The man also attempted wrestle away when police tried to handcuff him.

Once police placed handcuffs on the man, police say he refused to be transported to police headquarters. Police forced the man into a police cruiser, but said he fell several times, scratching his forehead in the process.

The trouble continued at police headquarters, according to arrest reports, where police say the man refused to get out of their vehicle and police officers had to carry him into the building. 

Police eventually charged the man with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and disorderly conduct, a violation. He was held for court later that day.
