Also in court, a Roaring Creek man who was caught with a small amount of marijuana got himself into big trouble with the law when he allegedly resisted arrest. Thirty-two year old Michael Broaster was approached by police on Tuesday, but he refused to be detained.  Officers reported that he damaged the rear window of a patrol vehicle and assaulted police corporal Requeña and constable Martinez. Broaster appeared in Magistrate’s Court unrepresented today and pleaded not guilty to charges of Possession of a Controlled Drug, Damage to Property, Resisting Arrest and two counts of Assaulting a Police Officer. Bail was offered to him in the sum of one thousand, five hundred dollars plus one surety of the same amount. He is due back in court on January twentieth, 2012.
