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'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!

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? [ Edited by: Kailuageoff on 2005-04-12 10:33 ]
