The 40-year-old man accused of robbing the Sunoco station on South Transit Street Jan. 11, has been charged with other crimes relating to a scuffle he had with police when he was arrested Jan. 18, according to Lockport Police Department records.
David P. Smith, who gave police a Niagara Falls address but whom police say has no permanent address, was charged Monday with second-degree assault, second-degree obstruction, and resisting arrest. Police say that when they were picking him up on Lake Road on Jan. 18, he refused to comply with officers demands and tussled with police.
Smith had been ordered to the ground at gunpoint, the arrest report says, but refused to do so, instead walking backwards with his hand in his back waistband. Following an unsuccessful attempt to use a TASER on Smith, police finally detained him.
The charges were levied on Monday despite the incident happening over a week ago because Smith had been at the Niagara County Sheriff's Office, according to the arrest report.
