On 10 Dec 03 in the course of executing an arrest warrant on the charge of arson, Deputy Sheriffs Hiatt and Kapple encountered resistance by the arrestee, Augustine Brunoni Jr., age 23, Lot 8 Harris Trailer Park, Newport. Given permission, Deputies entered the residence and requested Mr. Brunoni to rise from the chair in which he was seated. Instead Mr. Brunoni covered himself completely and cowered under a comforter while sitting in the chair. After being compelled to stand, the defendant began to flail and jerk his arms away from the two Deputies. The threatened use of pepper spray finally subdued the defendant enough to take him into custody and transport him to the Washington County Jail.
