A Pearl Street resident was jailed without bail last night after allegedly biting a Batavia Police officer on his arm.
The officer, Sgt. John Peck, was treated and released at UMMC.
Charged with assault, 2nd, and resisting arrest was Donald F. Stillwagon II, 25, of 142 Pearl St., Batavia. (Charges modified to: felony assault 2nd, obstructinog governmental administration and harassment 2nd.)
The incident began at 10:13 p.m. with a report of a family domestic problem at that address. Stillwagon was reportedly involved in a fight with another family member and at one time was allegedly choking the other family member. He was then restrained by a family member when police arrived.
Peck attempted to arrest Stillwagon, which is when the suspect allegedly bit Peck, causing a pretty deep cut, according to Detective Pat Corona.
Police have recently responded to other calls at this residence, Corona said.
The incident remains under investigation and additional charges may be pending.
Sheriff's deputies and state troopers assisted in the incident.
