CONCORD- A Concord man was charged with assaulting a police officer after mowing his yard at 2 a.m. Sunday.

According to a police report, officers were dispatched to 495 Liberty Drive SW to investigate a disturbance on Sunday, July 10. When they arrived they encountered Corey Tyrone Moser, who was intoxicated and trying to mow his grass at 2 a.m.

The report says Officer T.S. Chastain and Officer T.T. Mullins tried to persuade Moser to stop mowing, but it didn’t work. Instead Moser assaulted Chastain by slapping away his hands and then continued to get in the officers’ space.

During the arrest, Chastain was pushed to the ground and Mullins was grabbed on the right shoulder and pulled to the ground, according to the report.

Moser was eventually arrested and charged with two counts of assault on a government official, intoxicated and disruptive and resisting public officers.

Monday morning he was in the Cabarrus County Jail under a $5,000 bond.
