Police: U-M Student Beats Man With Tiki Torch
Officers Tackle, Arrest Man

POSTED: 11:46 am EDT April 11, 2005
UPDATED: 12:00 pm EDT April 11, 2005

A 19-year-old student at the University of Michigan was arrested early Saturday after allegedly attempting to flee on foot from police.

Officers were in the 1600 block of Washtenaw Avenue at about 1:25 a.m. when they saw two men arguing. The 19-year-old then pushed the other man to the ground and struck him several times with a tiki torch, police told The Ann Arbor News.

Police told the paper that when officers approached the 19-year-old, he ran off and jumped a fence.

Officers located the man after hearing him talking on a cell phone. He attempted to flee again, but was tackled and arrested, police told the paper.

The man was taken into custody on a charge of resisting arrest.

No injuries were reported in the attack or chase.

I hope the tiki torch is O.K..........

You gotta hand it to the assailant... at least he picked a tiki appropriate weapon! I'll bet he's probably a TC member just looking for some attention! Next time maybe he'll whack someone with a 2 foot Ku or stab somebody with a broken tiki mug... now that would be sweet!

I live in Ann Arobor and I just a house from Washtenaw Ave. And I was just looking to pick up some tiki touches. And no that wasn't me. :)

Me too bro, me too.

I wonder whether it was lit at the time of the incident. Being assaulted with a flamming tiki torch seems much more dangerous. I think this would elevate the charge to aggrevated tiki assault, rather than an ordinary tiki assault.
Are there any cops or lawyers in the house?

Sounds like the type of guy I wish I were hanging out with!
