The St. Cloud Police Department arrested the man around 3 p.m. April 30 after authorities were called to the 3000 block of 15th Street North in St. Cloud, according to a statement of probable cause and the Stearns County Jail roster. First responders allegedly saw the man fighting with his brother, as witnesses said the suspect threw items at his brother, hit him and forced him outside the building. As officers tried to arrest the 52-year-old man, he reportedly fought with officers. The criminal complaint alleges the suspect grabbed one officer's holstered pistol and started to "tug on it." The suspect reportedly continued to fight until officers restrained him, but he never gained full access of the firearm. Charges were filed by the Stearns County Attorney's Office on May 2, according to the criminal complaint. He was scheduled to have his first court appearance Friday morning, May 2, as well. The St. Cloud man is facing a felony charge of attempting to disarm a peace officer, a gross misdemeanor obstruction of legal process charge and a misdemeanor domestic assault charge.
