Suspect Tased After Assaulting Officer

OCEAN CITY — A Delaware man was arrested for allegedly assaulting an Ocean City police officer and resisting arrest after getting tossed from a midtown nightclub last weekend.

Around 5:30 p.m. last weekend, OCPD officer were affecting an arrest outside Seacrets when they observed bar security escorting a combative individual out of the club. The suspect, later identified as Joseph Filliben, 24, of Wilmington, was allegedly screaming obscenities and pushing and pulling against the security staff. An OCPD officer approached and attempted to calm Filliben down to no avail. Filliben was accompanied by three friends who were also attempting to calm him.

After Filliben was calmed to some degree, he was asked to quietly leave the area or he would be arrested. As he left the area, Filliben continued to flail his arms and yell obscenities at the officers and others in the area. Again, he was asked to just leave the area or risk being arrested. As he continued to walk away, Filliben then directed his obscenities and fighting words toward individuals on the street and sidewalk and challenging others to fight.
