Man facing felony charge for alleged assault on Hamilton police officer

John Joseph Hutchinson IV continued to curse and scream in the presence of other people, according to the report.

When Murray told Hutchinson he was under arrest, “the defendant began to resist arrest and struck the (officer) in the face and elbow causing injury,” according to the police report.

Hutchinson, 34, of the 6500 block of Hansbrinker Drive, was charged with assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

His case was bound over to a grand jury on May 18 following a preliminary hearing in Hamilton Municipal Court. He remains housed in the Butler County Jail.
