Johari Prakhar, 24, did not go down quietly after the Woodbridge man was stopped shortly before 2 a.m. on Nov. 3 near the 14000 block of Richmond Highway, not far from the Marumsco Plaza parking lot.
According to police, when the officers attempted to detain the driver, he actively resisted, and during the struggle, it is alleged that Prakhar head-butted and kicked officers before he could ultimately be secured without further incident.
Minor injuries were reported by the officers.
Prakhar was charged with:
- Two counts of assault and battery on a law enforcement officer;
- DUI;
- Obstruction of justice.
Bond was set at $2,500 secured and his next court appearance was pending as of Monday afternoon.
