Subject with open bottle

On 6/10/17 at about 12:50 AM, an officer observed a male subject stumbling in the roadway on West Main Street near 32nd Street.  The subject was carrying an open bottle of a malt beverage.  He was identified as Christopher George, age 28, of Rapid City.  Mr. George refused to comply with the officers orders.  He clenched his fists and got into a fighting stance.  The officer deployed the Taser however it was not successful and Mr. George refused to comply with commands and continued his aggressive behavior.  Two additional officers arrived to assist and one of them deployed OC spray.  The three officers were able to subdue Mr. George and get him into handcuffs.  During this struggle, Mr. George grabbed one of the officer’s fingers and twisted it hard enough that the officer thought he was going to break it.  Mr. George was charged with Simple Assault on Law Enforcement, Open Container of Alcohol in Public, Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest and Probation Hold.
