Assault & Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer in Manassas
On March 1 at 12:19 AM, law enforcement officers on patrol in the 8300 block of Sudley Road near Manassas (20109) encountered an individual walking in the roadway. Upon approaching the individual, later identified as Isaiah James Allen ROBINSON, officers determined that he was intoxicated and subsequently detained him without further incident.
However, the situation escalated upon arrival at the Adult Detention Center (ADC). While processing Robinson, he actively resisted arrest by striking, kicking, and spitting at the officers. Additional ADC staff and officers were called to the scene to assist, and after a struggle, Robinson was eventually re-secured. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the altercation.
Following an investigation into the incident, Isaiah James Allen ROBINSON, 19, residing at 8348 Harts Mill Rd. in Warrenton, was arrested. He faces charges including 2 counts of assault on a law enforcement officer, 1 count of obstruction of justice, 1 count of possession of alcohol by a minor, and 1 count of public intoxication.
As of now, Robinson’s court date is pending, and information regarding his bond remains unavailable.
