Posted
Details from an arrest last week reveal that police were forced to use a Taser® stun gun on a Milford man.

According to a report from the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, officers arrived at 310 Turkey Creek in Milford to the home of Francisco J. Ramirez around 4 p.m. March 9.

Police were called after receiving a domestic dispute call.

KCSD Deputy Jeff Howie attempted to restrain Ramirez when according to the report, Ramirez initiated a physical altercation with Howie.

To subdue Ramirez, Howie used the Taser ®.

After being taken into custody, Ramirez allegedly told Howie he would send the "Mexican mafia" after him.

Ramirez allegedly assaulted a woman at his residence.

The woman claimed she came home around 3:30 p.m. March 9 and Ramirez was sitting on a couch "crying and drinking champagne".

The woman claimed that Ramirez punched her twice with a closed fist in the chest.

Ramirez was charged with misdemeanor battery and resisting/fleeing law enforcement and held in Kosciusko County Jail on $500 bond.
