A man allegedly threw a fish and other property at another person inside the home, police said.

When police arrived they were met with a 27-year-old man who was "yelling and screaming vulgarities."

As he was arrested a woman allegedly began assaulting the arresting officer, punching him in the back of the head and body, police said. Other officers then arrested that woman.

A 22-year-old woman is facing a charge of assaulting police. She wasn't named by police as she was released on a promise to appear in court at a future date.
