Police Shatter Window to Make Arrest

Byron Christopher McCaskill-Bey, 42, faces charges after he tried to assault a police officer, police say.

Dale City, Va. –– One man is charged with assaulting a police officer during a traffic stop.

Police tried to stop a vehicle in the area of Minnieville and Delaney roads at 10:44 p.m. Monday. The male driver did not stop, and continued about a block west to Minnieville Road and Estate Drive.

When he did stop, the male driver rolled up the car windows, locked the doors and ignored the officer’s commands to identify himself, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.

At one point, the driver cracked the driver’s side window wide enough for the officer to get his arm inside the vehicle so he could roll it down further. But the driver tried to roll up the window on the officer’s arm, said Perok.

The officer pulled his arm out of the window, and when the man again refused to comply with police demands they shattered the passenger side window of the car and took the male into custody without incident, said Perok.

Byron Christopher McCaskill-Bey, 42, of Portsmouth, is charged assault and battery on a law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, resisting arrest, reckless driving and driving on a revoked license, said Perok.

He was held without bond and is scheduled to appear in court June 23.
