Man Accused of Resisting Arrest
Police say they had to use a “stun drive” on a man six times after he allegedly brandished a knife and tried to start a fight at the Hotel Holley.
According to papers filed in District Judge Dominic Cercone’s office, police were called to the bar at 11:15 p.m. on December 1 for a man dressed in all black, brandishing a knife, harassing patrons and trying to start a fight.
They attempted to handcuff 26-year-old Mark Pessia but he became irate and started fighting with officers, so they used a stun drive on him. As they attempted to get him to his feet, he started fighting again. Police had to use the stun drive five more times.
Pessia is free on his own recognizance.
