MAN CHARGED WITH BATTERY IN INCIDENT LEADING TO RPD CRASH

(Richmond, IN)--A Richmond police officer was involved in a serious crash on Saturday night that resulted in a total of four people to Reid Health.  Police were responding to a call on South 14th and were told to expedite their response.  That’s because 32-year-old Christopher Stewart was allegedly attacking an officer as the result of a heated domestic incident.  Stewart is now charged with felony battery against a public safety official and resisting law enforcement.  Ten years ago, Stewart was sentenced to two and a half years in prison on identical charges.  There’s no word on the extent of any injury to the officer.
