Arrest in Buckley following assault on police officer

A driver was arrested in Buckley last night after allegedly assaulting a police officer and being in possession of an offensive weapon. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The incident is understood to have taken place just before 10.30pm on Sunday evening in the Springfield Drive area of Buckley. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

In an update on the South Flintshire Police Team Facebook page PC Dean, said: ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Last night my colleague was assaulted whilst we searched a vehicle and two occupants, thankfully she sustained no injuries. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The driver clearly had something to hide as he did his best to fight us off and had to be sprayed with our incapacitant spray. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

People should know that if you try to hurt us, we won’t take it and we will arrest you using force we deem reasonable. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

This driver was arrested for obstruction, assaulting a police officer, possession of an offensive weapon and drug driving. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Hopefully, another dangerous individual removed from our roads!” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
