A 28-year-old Niagara Street man was charged with assault, harassment and other crimes early Saturday morning at a Main Street bar.
According to the LPD arrest report, Damien D. Speck, 407 Niagara St., Side Apt., was asked to leave Lock 34 and punched two staff members while he was being escorted from the bar.
When police arrived and put Speck in custody, he “began to slam his face against the rear of patrol car 26,” according to the arrest report. In doing so, he cracked one of the windows of the car. Once he was placed inside the car, he “began kicking and thrashing in the back of the car.”
“The suspect was kicking the doors with his feet and throwing his body against the seat and the divider,” the report said. “The suspect’s actions then caused the rear window to break completely,” causing about $300 damage and causing the arresting officer to get a cut on his left upper arm while removing Speck from the vehicle.
He was transferred to another patrol car and taken to LPD, where he was given medical treatment from Twin Cities Ambulance and then taken to Eastern Niagara Hospital-Lockport.

Lockport police are still looking for the person who filmed an assault of a North Park student by two other girls Sept. 5.
"We have to try to find this guy," Police Chief Larry Eggert said.
The two aggressors in the assault have been found and charged but no one has offered up the name of the cameraman, Eggert said.
Comments on ENP's Facebook page have indicated that his identity is widely known, but no one has come forward to police with his name.
Eggert said he's unsure why no one has come forward with information and added that the person behind the camera may or may not face charges once his identity is determined.
"Merely standing there and filming ... doesn't make you an accomplice," the chief said. "It doesn't make you a criminal."

| Many of the juveniles had bags full of their belongings. |
According to witnesses, the teens were found first by an unmarked Niagara County Sheriff's Office Drug Task Force team member.
"He was kind of keeping an eye on them until some marked patrol cars could get there," said Lockport Police Chief Larry Eggert.
When a Sheriff's deputy arrived and attempted to apprehend the juveniles, one of the eight began to fight with the deputy. Calls for backup went out as another of the kids joined in the fight.
Nearly a dozen police cars ended up at the scene around 3:30 p.m. Even with numbers now on their side, police had trouble with the juveniles.
"The whole dynamic changes from when you've got one person to when you've got 10 ... and that's exactly what happened here," Eggert explained.
Twin City Ambulance showed up to attend to a deputy who was injured. He was taken to ENH-Lockport.
 |
| Law enforcement showed up in large numbers. |
Whether the juveniles will return to the campus is not yet known, but Wyndham Lawn said earlier today in a statement: "Although in most cases residents who leave are returned to the campus, if it appears that a child is unwilling to remain at Wyndham Lawn or whose legal status prevents that from occurring, alternative resources will be arranged."
Eggert said he doesn't recall many violent instances with Wyndham residents.
"You run into one or two people that just don't want to go back ... but it's a fairly rare occurrence," he said.
He did note, however, that most Wyndham Lawn calls are fielded by the Niagara County Sheriff's Office.
A call to Niagara County Sheriff Jim Voutour was not immediately returned.
