A Virginia man, charged with head-butting a police officer in the chest, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation in Butler County Court Monday.

Phillip I. Glover, 25, of Grottoes, Va., pleaded guilty to misdemeanor resisting arrest and an amended count of simple assault, before county Judge William Shaffer, and was sentenced to 12 months probation, restitution and 30 hours of community service.

Glover initially was charged with felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor resisting arrest, two counts of criminal mischief, loitering and prowling at nighttime, disorderly conduct and summary public drunkenness after an incident outside the Haven at Cranberry Woods apartments in Cranberry Township on Dec. 10.

Cranberry Township police said a witness saw Glover hitting vehicles on Creekview Circle and attempting to break into them around 5:15 a.m.

While questioning Glover at the scene, police said he was found to be intoxicated; he was holding a white dog at the time, which he claimed was a service dog; and he had blood dripping from his right hand. Glover said he received the cut after climbing over a small fence, according to the police report.

When officers attempted to take him into custody he made his body rigid and resisted their attempts to get him into a patrol vehicle and he began to yell loudly, according to the report.

Glover then tried to head butt officer Christopher Maloney in the face but missed, hitting him instead in the upper chest, according to the criminal complaint.

Afterward, police found an Infiniti G37 with the rear window smashed. Witnesses reported seeing Glover near the car and said he was repeatedly yelling the license plate number, according to the report.

The damage to the car was estimated at $1,200 by police. There also was $500 in damage to a police cruiser, the cost to remove blood from the seat.

Glover’s attorney, T. Brent McCune, told the court that Glover is “a bright young man” who studies at Carnegie Mellon University, and understands that “he has some emotional issues to address” and “alcohol is a bad mix.”

McCune said as Glover lives in Virginia, he hopes to have the probation transferred to that state.
