On June 23 at 7:07 p.m. Dep. S. Moran stopped two individuals for questioning in an area known for trespassers and CDS activity on Calvert Avenue near the beach in St. Leonard.  One of the subjects, later identified as Kenneth Edward Gregory, 54 of St. Leonard, kept putting his hands in his pockets.  He consented to a search but while being searched he kept his left hand in his pocket.  He took an item from his pocket and placed it in his mouth.  Moran ordered Gregory to spit the item out but he would not.  Moran had his hand near Gregory’s mouth and at that time, Gregory bit down on the deputy’s hand and would not release it.  Moran took Gregory down and was able to get his hand out of Gregory’s clenched teeth.  A small wrapper containing three pills came out of Gregory’s mouth.  Gregory was arrested and charged with possession of Oxycodone, resisting arrest, second degree assault on a law enforcement officer and second degree assault.  Charges of conspiracy to distribute narcotics are pending against the second individual and a third subject found in the vehicle all three had arrived in.
