A Woodland police officer wrestling with a man in the Main Street Post Office was slightly injured when both went through a plate glass window.

The incident occurred around 11:02 p.m., last Friday, according to Woodland Police Sgt. Brett Hancock. Another officer who was on scene during the fight also received minor cuts to the hand. The suspect was also injured. However, none of the injures were deemed serious.

Hancock reported the unidentified police officer saw a man, later identified as Larry Phillips, 25, masturbating in the lobby of the Post office at 108 W. Main St., while standing in front of a plate glass window on the southeast facing side of the building.

Phillips could be seen by people traveling past the lobby of the building, so the officer interceded. When the officer tried to stop Phillips, however, Phillips became confrontational and spit in the officer’s face.

When the officer tried to place Phillips under arrested, Hancock continued, Phillips fought back and pushed the officer, striking him in the head.

“The officer continued to attempt to take Phillips into custody and Phillips continued to resist arrest,” Hancock added. “At one point both Phillips and the officer received multiple lacerations from broken glass as they went through a large window.”

Another officer who had arrived at the scene during the incident also received minor cuts to the hand.

The officer was treated at Woodland Memorial Hospital and released.

Phillips was also treated at Woodland Memorial Hospital and then transported to the Yolo County Jail where he was booked on charges of assault on a peace officer and lewd conduct in public.
