2 Misdemeanor warrants for Violation of a Court Order

On 7/16/20 at approx. 11AM, an officer had already been dispatched to the area of Talmage Rd. at 101 regarding a person possibly injecting themselves with a syringe. The officer arrived on scene and observed Michael Langley (matching the description given by dispatch to the officer) walking on the fog line in front of the Arco gas station on Talmage Rd. (615 Talmage Rd.).  The officer saw that passing vehicles had to swerve into the opposing lane to avoid striking Langley with their vehicle.  The officer directed Langley to a safer location and contacted Langley on the sidewalk.

The officer observed drug paraphernalia sticking out of the top of Langley’s left front pants pocket.  Langley admitted to possessing narcotics in the syringe “for a friend”.  The officer attempted to gain voluntary compliance to safely retrieve the syringe without success.  At this time, another officer began a traffic stop on a felony warrant suspect (20-1464) in the 900 block of Mazzoni St.

Langley began to physically resist and a struggle ensued.  During the struggle, Langley grabbed hold of the officer’s baton while it was holstered on his uniform.  Langley continued to resist and fight with the officer.  Two commendable citizens who were driving by came to assist and aid the officer in detaining Langley.  UPD is extremely grateful for the citizens who came to the aid of the officer in a time of need.  Langley was arrested and transported to the county jail for the above charges with a bail of $15,000.  Langley was known to UPD from numerous prior contacts.
