SYRACUSE -ÊA Syracuse man is in the Kosciusko County Jail after an incident with Syracuse Police officers Monday night.

Officers were asked to help a woman who was removing her personal items from a residence at 508 Prairie Drive in Turtle Bay, when Michael S. Hively, 23, of the same address, allegedly became disorderly and combative.

Hively resisted arrest, and fought with officers until he was secured in the back seat of a police car. The rear passenger window was shattered before several assisting officers were able to remove Hively and restrain him from causing more damage.

Hively was booked into Kosciusko County Jail on two counts of battery on a police officer, one count of disorderly conduct, one count of resisting/fleeing law enforcement and one count of criminal mischief. He is being held on $10,000 bond.

Syracuse officers Joseph Denton and Cory Morris were taken to Goshen Hospital, where they were treated for their injuries and released. The officers will remain on light duty until released from a physician's care.

Damage estimates to the police vehicles were listed between $1,300-$1,900.
