On this date at approximately 1300 Deputy Investigators from the Calhoun County Office of the Sheriff were dispatched to the area of F. Drive North near 23 Mile Road in the Township of Marengo for a personal injury accident. Upon arrival it was determined that a single vehicle was traveling westbound on F. Drive North when the driver lost control and exited the roadway striking a tree. An investigation of the accident revealed that the driver was Operating While Impaired. As the driver was being arrested for this offense he became combative and assaulted the deputy. The driver was subdued and transported to Oaklawn Hospital for treatment where he remains with non-life threatening injuries. The deputy was not treated. The driver, a 53 year old Albion, MI man will be charged with Operating While Impaired and Resisting & Obstructing Police upon his release.

Note: The driver of this car did not strike the police officer, yet he was punched several times in the face in order to place handcuffs around his wrists. The driver of the car underwent surgery to repair his shattered ankle, injured in the accident, so one has to wonder how he would have been able to assault an officer and resist arrest?
