The student, identified as a 23-year-old Brooklyn man in Xenia Municipal Court records, was charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor. He has an additional charge from Feb. 13 for disorderly conduct, a minor misdemeanor, to which he has plead not guilty.
Central State redacted the name of the arresting officer, who is currently on leave. Xenia Court records identify the arresting officer as William Shelton.
The officer involved in the incident will be off duty until further notice, according to the university. University officials have been in touch with the student, who returned to his residence hall shortly after the incident.
The Greene County Sheriff’s Office said there was no 911 call associated with the incident, meaning it was a Central State police initiated action.
“The university takes this matter seriously. The incident is the subject of an ongoing investigation, and no further details can be provided at this time,” the university said.
