33-year-old Anthony Marquardt showed signs of impairment near Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way North in the late hours of August 6th. A concerned citizen alerted the authorities, who arrived and noticed Marquardt reeked of alcohol and was visibly intoxicated. Officers deemed Marquardt a danger to himself and detained him. While the police escorted Marquardt to their patrol car, he started resisting and tried to sit on the ground. Marquardt continued disregarding officers’ commands and being resistive, so they had to lift him up to put him into the vehicle. When Marquardt’s upper body was in the patrol car, he kicked Officer Breece in the right thigh above the knee. Officers then placed a hobble restraint on Marquardt’s legs and then transported him to booking. Marquardt was taken into custody for public intoxication, assault on an officer, and resisting arrest.
