Naked, Aggressive Man Arrested In Atlantic City After Attempting To Assault An Officer

ATLANTIC CITY (CBS) -- A man was arrested in Atlantic City after attempting to assault a police officer.

Officers Scott Sendrick and Robert Reynolds responded to a report of a naked male in the street around South Carolina and Caspian Avenues around 5 p.m. on Friday evening.

The officers found 25-year-old Steven Grant, who was reportedly naked, screaming, aggressive, and showing signs of being under the influence of narcotics, near North Carolina Avenue.

Officers attempted to calm Grant, who refused commands and jumped on the hood of Officer Sendrick's car, before charging at Sendrick himself.

Sendrick used a conducted energy device to subdue Grant, and took him into custody without further incident.

Grant was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center for evaluation and was released a short time later.

He is being held on $25,000 bail and faces charges of aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.

Anyone with information on the incident is being asked to contact the Atlantic City Police Department's Criminal Investigations Section at 609-347-5766.
