Police arrested William Russell at the Strike and Spare Executive bowling alley on charges of marijuana possession, menacing and resisting arrest. Court officials said Russell was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, July 15.
As officers were wrapping up their investigation, police say Russell took a “bladed stance”, and advanced towards officers in an aggressive manner. I looked all around and all there was was… “Looking for a hand to hold”.
Police say Russell was found smoking marijuana in the parking lot of the center along with a co-defendant.
