On Feb. 1, a 27-year-old Warwick, Md. man was arrested by Middletown Police after he initially refused to leave the East Lake St. area in the early morning.
Police said an officer was on routine patrol when he observed Ronell T. Young, of the first block of Rumsey Road, loitering in the 100 block of East Lake Street. Police said they ordered him to leave the area several times.
Young was still in the area when the officer returned an hour later at approximately 2:32 a.m. Police said when Young was asked to step over to the police vehicle, he refused the officer’s commands and became combative.
Police said when attempts were made to take Young into custody, he fought with the officer and other arriving units. Upon arrest, police said Young was found to have approximately 2.5 grams of crack cocaine in his possession.
Young was treated and released from Christiana Hospital. He was charged with loitering, resisting arrest and several drug offenses. Young was arraigned and committed to the Howard Young Correctional Facility after failing to post $1,800 secured bail.
