Phillip Cartwright was arrested Monday after causing a disturbance at Pine Knot Primary School and fighting with officers.
A Whitley City man was arrested Monday afternoon after reportedly causing a disturbance at Pine Knot Primary School and attempting to flee from officers.
According to the arrest citation Phillip H. Cartwright went to the school, where his mother works, around 2:00 p.m. Monday afternoon. The 18-year-old caused a disturbance and was asked to leave.
School Resource Officer Phillip Hayes attempted to get the subject to leave, and noticed he appeared to be under the influence and was combative. When Sheriff Randy Waters, Deputy Tom Smith, KSP Trooper Matt Ridener and Fish and Wildlife Officer Chris King arrived on scene to provide assistance, Cartwright attempted to flee and was detained by the officers. The subject remained combative, and when placed in the cruiser he began kicking at the officers, and was tazed before the altercation escalated.
Cartwright was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, public intoxication (controlled substance) and criminal trespassing.
He was lodged in the Leslie County Detention Center.
