FIREFIGHTERS ASSAULTED IN DELAWARE
A 20 year old man was arrested Monday night after he assaulted 2 Firefighters who were clearing an apartment building of smoke. Cops charged the man with criminal impersonation, making a false written statement and 2 counts of offensive touching of a Firefighter.
Wilmington Manor Firefighters responded to the fire call about 1815 hours and were trying to clear the smoke-filled building when the man refused to evacuate.
Firefighters initially traced the smoke to the mans apartment and banged on the door, but got no response. The Firefighters then forced entry into the apartment and found the good citizen sleeping on the floor but they had trouble waking him. The smoke was caused by a smoking pot left on the stove.
FF’s tried several times to wake him up, and when they woke him a few minutes later, he behaved – but then became argumentative when Firefighters had him leave. The man then physically charged Firefighters as they stood in the doorway of his apartment, he was arrested, and he gave the cops a fake name. He got locked up.
