As police approached 37-year-old Joshua England of Columbus, officers say they noticed he was slurring his words and had trouble maintaining his balance.

England was arrested, but not without a struggle. England kicked an officer as he was being loaded into the police car and kicked a female jail officer at the Bartholomew County Jail.

England is facing charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement, and battery on a law enforcement officer.
