Fight Combatant Nearly Tazed

OCEAN CITY — A Pennsylvania man was arrested on numerous charges last weekend after first scrapping with a female victim and later police before ultimately being nearly tazed to be brought under control.

Around 2:30 a.m. last Friday, an Ocean City police officer was assisting with an arrest at an unrelated incident in the area of 8thStreet when he observed a male suspect screaming at a female. The victim was screaming for the suspect to get away from him, but the suspect, later identified as Zachary Gonzalez, 18, of Kingston, Pa., kept continually screaming “where is my [expletive deleted] phone?” according to police reports.

The officer approached the pair and observed Gonzalez grab the victim and begin pushing her backward. As the officer approached, his view of the pair was obstructed momentarily by a parked vehicle and bushes, but when Gonzalez and the victim emerged again, the officer observed the victim slap Gonzalez and continue to scream for him to leave her alone, according to police reports.

Meanwhile, several people in the area began to attempt to intercede on behalf of the victim. One female jumped between the combatants and attempted to move the victim away from Gonzalez. Another group of about 10 people emerged from a nearby apartment and attempted to prevent any further contact by Gonzalez against the victim, according to police reports.
