Man arrested for disorderly conduct, then allegedly threatens to kill officer

SANDUSKY – A 43-year-old man was arrested and charged with a felony early Sunday morning after he allegedly caused issues at a house and then resisted and threatened police.

According to a report from the Sandusky Police Department, police responded to a Shelby Street house for a report of Darrin Williams causing issues. Earlier that day, Williams was trespassed from the Speedway on Campbell Street. He also dealt with police after being found passed out in a bathroom at Strobel Field, the report states.

At the house, according to the report, Williams had a liquor bottle in his hand, appeared intoxicated, and was yelling. Due to his previous warning at the Speedway, police decided to arrest him for disorderly conduct.

When police attempted to arrest Williams, according to the report, he began to walk away. Eventually police were able to hand cuff him and place him in a patrol car, despite him pushing away, the report states.

The report states that while driving to the Erie County Jail, Williams told a police officer multiple times that he would physically assault him and once said, “I’m gonna kill you.”

Williams was charged with persistent disorderly conduct while intoxicated (M4), resisting arrest (M2), retaliation (F3), open container in a public place (MM).
