Allentown resident Isaiah Dion Mosley, 29, tried to break through the door of an apartment on the 2300 block of Main Street in Northampton Borough around 3 p.m. Friday, the outlet said citing court records.

He then lunged at responding Officer Geoffrey Perry, punching him in the head and choking him, the report said. Mosley later told two other responding officers that he had the right to resist an arrest he considered to be “unlawful,” the report says.

Perry was taken to a nearby hospital and released later that day, while Mosley was arrested and charged with strangulation, criminal trespass and aggravated assault. He was being held at Northampton County Prison on $200,000 bail, according to the report.
