Man Tased After Resisting Arrest on Sexual Misconduct Charges

Christopher Briner

On Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at approximately 4:38 p.m., the Greenville Police Department and the Darke County Special Response Team assisted the Union City, Indiana Police Department in the execution of a search warrant at 316 Tecumseh St. in Greenville.

The search warrant stemmed from an investigation conducted by the Union City, Indiana Police Department for alleged Sexual Misconduct with a Minor involving the 24 year old suspect, Christopher A. Briner of 316 Tecumseh St. During the search of the residence, officers seized electronic equipment and narcotics.

Briner was not home when the search warrant was executed; however, he was located by Greenviile Police officers a short time later near his residence. While attempting to arrest Briner on an arrest warrant for Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, Briner struggled with officers and then engaged officers in a foot pursuit. Briner was subsequently subdued with the use of a Taser and arrested. Briner was taken to the Darke County Jaii and charged with resisting arrest and awaits extradition to Randolph County Indiana on their charges.
