A 32-year-old Baie Verte man, picked up by the RNC in the Curling area of Corner Brook last night around 10:30, did himself no favors after police took him to the lock-up.
The initial complaint involved public intoxication. The suspect was eventually located in the area of Curling Street and Killick Place.
However, after he was taken into custody, he assaulted a police officer and was charged with the assault. The officer in question was not injured but the man now has a court appearance in his future.
