2:46 a.m. Monday — Jackson R. Blakely, 19, of Summit Township was arrested after police found him with a stolen handgun on Mitchell Avenue.

11:57 p.m. Nov. 3 — A Michigan man was arrested for drunken driving and resisting arrest following a reported crash on Kingston Avenue.

Police said they found the suspect, Bryce D. Labelle, 28, of Wilson, slumped over the center console of his sport utility vehicle in the grass front lawn at the Cranberry Highlands Golf Course.

The vehicle was running and officers yelled for Labelle to wake up, according to court documents. Police subsequently asked for his driver’s license and he handed them a business card.

The defendant refused to come out of the vehicle and perform field sobriety tests, police said. Officers had to pull him out of the car and wrestle him to the ground.

He continued to pull away his arms and clench his fingers to prevent police from placing him in handcuffs, documents said. One of the officers threatened to deploy his Taser before police eventually were able to cuff him.

But when officers stood him up, documents said, he began to “passively resist” by becoming “dead weight” for police. Officers had to carry him to a patrol car where he was laid down in the rear seat.

At the station, police had to carry him into the holding cell.

In addition to driving under the influence and resisting arrest, Labelle is charged with trespass by vehicle.
