When a female police lieutenant asked Brown to park her vehicle, Brown allegedly refused. The lieutenant then told Brown to get out of the vehicle and opened the driver's door.

Brown allegedly bit the lieutenant three times on the neck and arm, then punched a female police captain in the chest.

Officers eventually subdued and arrested Brown.

The lieutenant was treated and released at a local hospital. The captain refused medical attention.

Brown is facing multiple charges, including aggravated assault and resisting arrest.
