WESTLAKE, Ohio -- A drunken Westlake man who couldn't turn off his house alarm was arrested after he called officers who came to help derogatory names and tried to lock them out of the house, police said.

Peter Nolan, 24, is charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct intoxication, according to Rocky River Municipal Court records. He will be arraigned Tuesday.

Westlake police responded just after 10:30 p.m. June 11 to a house alarm on Sperrys Forge Trail. A drunken Nolan had set off the alarm and couldn't figure out how to turn it off, according to police reports.

Nolan called the officers names and pretended to walk them out a door in the garage, the report says. When officers walked out the door, Nolan locked it behind them as the alarm still sounded.

Officers went back into the home through another door that was unlocked and put Nolan in handcuffs. Nolan ran and officers chased him through the house before corralling him in the living room, the report says.

Police were eventually able to shut the alarm off.

Nolan was taken to Westlake Jail where he spent the night, Westlake police Capt. Guy Turner said. He was released the following morning on his own recognizance.
