Several Aberdeen police officers suffered injuries from a combative suspect who had threatened his neighbors Friday evening, according to Aberdeen Police Lt. Dale Green.

Police were called to a report of a man “screaming and throwing items at nearby neighbors” in the 1700 block of Aberdeen Avenue around 8:49 p.m., according to Green.

“Upon arrival, the suspect, a 60-year-old Aberdeen resident, was yelling at neighbors that he was going to kill their cat then went into his residence,” said Green.

Officers followed followed the suspect into the residence and the suspect “charged at the officers, punching one in the face while yelling at officers as they attempted to detain him,” said Green. A Taser was used to no effect as three officers attempted to detain the suspect. He was eventually taken into custody as more officers arrived to assist.

“While escorting the male outside, there was large pane of glass resting next to the house,” said Green. “As they walked past the glass toward the patrol car, the suspect kneed the glass and was able to shove an escorting officer into the broken pane. This caused the suspect and officer to both sustain lacerations.”

Officers attempted to treat the suspect for his injuries, but he resisted, eventually requiring him to be restrained to a stretcher while paramedics from the Aberdeen Fire Department treated the suspect, said Green. The suspect was taken to Grays Harbor Community Hospital and released to Aberdeen Police a few hours later.

“Several officers sustained minor abrasions, lacerations and exposure to bodily fluids as a result of the incident,” said Green. The suspect was booked into the Aberdeen Police Department Jail on suspicion of third-degree assault, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
