Niagara Falls Police responded to the 1900 block of Falls Street around 4am on December 27th after reports of menacing with a weapon.
Upon arrival, officers observed a black female in front of a nearby house walking around. While officers checked a nearby alley for any persons of interest they saw a smaller black male walking towards Falls Street. He was talking to the female. Officers then made contact with him.
Due to the nature of the call officers began to pat him down for weapons. As officers tried to conduct the search, he became argumentative and attempted to prevent officers from doing so. Officers then attempted to detain him, but he started to shove officers away from him and, at the same time, the female with him became hostile.
The female took a fighting stance started to charge at officers aggressively swinging her hands, but quickly thought better and fled the scene. The female did not make it far before officers apprehended her. Use of force was required due to her resisting lawful commands.
She was placed in handcuffs and searched for any weapons. During the search she attempted to spit in an officer’s face but missed. Officers then detained her in the rear of a patrol vehicle.
Both individuals were given appearance tickets. No further information is available at this time.
