By Staff Report-

Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department deputies had to resort to pepper spray to subdue a Pierceton man who was destroying the inside of a squad car Thursday night.

Steven M. Wolfe, 23, 209 S. Maple St., was stopped by a deputy last night for driving left of center. Wolfe was arrested and placed in the squad car.

Once in the car, Wolfe began kicking the window frame of the passenger side of the car and bent it. He then turned and began to kick the interior of the rear driver's side door, breaking off the lock.

KCSD officers verbally requested he stop and warned Wolfe prior to using the spray.

Officers removed Wolfe from the car and transported him back to Kosciusko County Jail in a vehicle with an interior cage.

Wolfe is charged with driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to chemical testing, leaving the scene of an accident, criminal mischief, and driving while suspended following the incident. [[In-content Ad]]
