A Belleville man is facing multiple charges following an incident that began with a verbal dispute and escalated during an arrest on Wednesday morning.
According to the Belleville Police Service, officers on general patrol around 10:16 a.m. on March 11th, observed a man and a woman engaged in a heated verbal argument.
Police stopped to speak with the individuals and began an investigation into the situation.
During the interaction, the male reportedly provided officers with a false name. As police continued looking into the matter, they determined the man was bound by conditions that prohibited him from communicating with the woman.
Officers then moved to place the man under arrest for breaching those conditions. Police say the suspect attempted to flee but was quickly apprehended a short distance away.
While in custody, the man allegedly spat on one of the officers.
As a result of the incident, a 28-year-old Belleville man with no fixed address was arrested.
He is facing several charges, including assaulting a peace officer, obstructing a peace officer, resisting a peace officer, and two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking.
No names have been released by Belleville Police at this time.
The accused was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
