A Perry man was arrested Sunday afternoon after he refused to sign in receipt of municipal infractions for vicious dogs.
Marco Francis Roeder, 25, of 1517 Willis Ave., Perry, was charged with interference with official acts.
The incident began about 5:15 p.m. in the 1100 block of Lucinda Street, where officers of the Perry Police Department made contact with Roeder.
An officer informed Roeder about “citations that were needing to be served to him,” but Roeder allegedly “refused to sign” for the citations, according to court records.
The officer told Roeder “that if he did not sign, then he would be placed under arrest,” to which Roeder replied, “Go ahead and arrest me,” which the officer proceeded to do.
Roeder was issued citations for fourth-offense vicious dog, fifth-offense vicious dog, fifth-offense dog at large and sixth-offense dog at large.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
