A Plymouth man was arrested Monday night, July 8th after city police responded to two different 911 calls.
At about 10 p.m. Plymouth Police responded to 700 Berkley Street, the trailer park for a man who had entered a residence and took and broke a cell phone to prevent the residents from calling 911. Officers were unable to locate the subject who was identified as 26-year-old Blake A. Brown of Jackson Heights Road in Plymouth.
At approximately 11 pm, Plymouth Police responded for a second call to the Berkley Street trailer park for Blake Brown who was violating a protection order and beating on an exterior door.
Officers responded to the second 911 call and found Brown hiding behind a shed on the property. He was instructed to turn around and place his hands behind his back, however refused to comply. When the officer went to place Brown into handcuffs, he began to resist and batter the officer. During the struggle, Brown suffered minor injuries before being taken into custody.
Blake Brown was transported by police to the Plymouth Hospital where he was treated and cleared for admission into the Marshall County Jail.
Blake Brown is facing pending criminal charges for felony battery on a law enforcement officer, misdemeanor-resisting law enforcement, public intoxication, criminal mischief, invasion of privacy, intimidation, and interfering with reporting a crime. He is being held on a $1,500 cash bond.
This year Brown has been arrested on February 16th, April 2nd and June 8th along with this new arrest on July 8th.
