A Shelbyville police officer was allegedly attacked by a suspect being arrested Friday afternoon.
Officer Brandon Paslay was kicked by Kevin Brian Rodas, 29, of Baker Street, who tried to bite another officer according to an accident report.
Roads allegedly “actively resisted” two officers attempting to arrest him.
A taser stun by Officer Tracy Teal didn’t stop Rodas, who allegedly responded by attempting to bite him. Paslay was kicked as officers placed him on the ground.
Eventually five officers managed to get Rodas into a patrol vehicle. Police were called to the home after Rodas allegedly became angry when told to leave.
A family member told Rodas she “doesn’t like the person he becomes when he’s been drinking.
Rodas was charged with resisting arrest, assault on an officer, public intoxication, disorderly conduct and violation of probation. He was held on $14,000 bond.
