While a man was being arrested for driving under the influence, he reportedly threatened the lives of several officers and urinated in the back of the police car.

Just before midnight on February 16, a 35-year-old man from Thomasville was driving in West Manchester Township with his dog in his vehicle. He was allegedly driving over the posted speed limit, and it caught the attention of an officer from the West Manchester Township Police Department. The officer performed a traffic stop.

When first interacting with the driver, the officer reported that the man did not believe there was a legitimate reason he was pulled over and would not show his driver’s license when asked. It was reported that he said he had knives with him, in addition to a gun, for which he had a concealed carry permit. The man informed the officer that he was in a rush because his dog had a seizure and needed medical attention, and it was noted that the officer believed he smelled like he had been drinking alcohol.
