Man Released from Hospital After Scuffling with Police
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — Frederick city police say a Prince George's County man has been released from the hospital after he became incoherent following a scuffle with officers.
Lt. Clark Pennington said Monday that 44-year-old Vincent Fong of District Heights is charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, theft and robbery after an incident Sunday night. He's being held without bond pending a bond review. Online court records do not list a defense attorney.
Pennington says officers were called around 9:30 p.m. to a beer-and-wine shop where a threatening customer had stolen a six-pack of hard cider. Pennington says Fong approached a police cruiser and tried to smash its window with a bottle.
Pennington says Fong then tried to punch one of the officers before they took him to the ground and handcuffed him.
