At 10:28 Sunday night, Fremont police officers responded to a possible break-in at a business located at 35 West Sixth Street.
Officers observed broken glass upon arrival and attempted to have contact with an individual walking away. The individual, later identified as Eric Mendez, 19, (address unknown), became uncooperative and would not listen to commands. Attempts to control the Mendez were unsuccessful and a taser was deployed.
An investigation showed that Mendez was involved in an assault earlier. He then caused damage to the business by throwing a large planter through the window.
Mendez was charged with: burglary, robbery, third-degree assault, obstruction, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct.
