MUNCIE — An intoxicated, 255-pound man who had been involved in a fight kicked police officers after they arrived and handcuffed him, then dented and scratched the outside of a squad car, then violently banged his head on the cage once he was shackled inside the car, police allege.

William Edward Stanard, 47, 2109 N. Hollywood Ave., was jailed over the weekend on preliminary charges including battery on police, criminal mischief, intimidation and resisting law enforcement.

The intimidation charge stems from alleged verbal threats to harm patrolman Eric Small, whom he called a ‘ho’ and other derogatory remarks, lunged at and kicked, leaving his shoe print on Small’s pant leg. Small says Stanard also kicked the door of his squad car, tried to break out the glass and broke another officer’s camera.

Another intoxicated (and bloody) man at the Hollywood address told police Stanard attacked him after accusing him of having sexual relations with Stanard’s wife.
