Two officers hurt in scuffle with man while investigating domestic violence incident

GREENFIELD -- Two Greenfield police officers were hurt in a scuffle with a 21-year-old man at a motel on Sunday evening, May 29th.

The officers were dispatched to the Hideaway Motel near 27th and Edgerton just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday to investigate a domestic violence incident.

When officers arrived, the victim’s 21-year-old son was confrontational with the officers. Officers tried to prevent the confrontation from escalating, however, the 21-year-old became increasingly agitated and would not comply with the officers' directions. When the officers tried to take the 21-year-old into custody, he physically resisted the officers.
