(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man has been accused of biting an officer after putting up a struggle with law enforcement during his arrest.

 

Ezekiel Moore, 31, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with two counts of Battery Against a Public Safety Official and Resisting Law Enforcement.

 

On January 4th, authorities responded to an apartment at 1708 Country Lane Dr. where his sister, Tierra Minandi, was wanted on a warrant.

 

La Porte Police said Moore became confrontational with officers, telling them that if she was going to be arrested, he should also be taken to jail.

 

At one point, Moore allegedly pushed one of the officers and repeatedly yelled obscenities at law enforcement representatives and civilians. He also allegedly struggled with officers while they were leading them to a patrol vehicle for transport to the La Porte County Jail.

 

While at the jail, police said Moore bit one of the officers.

 

According to jail records, Minandi was wanted for Intimidation, Disorderly Conduct, and multiple counts of Failure to Appear in Court.
