HENRIETTA, NY — A Monroe County Sheriff’s deputy was injured while arresting a man involved in a domestic dispute in a parking lot on Dec. 10.
Deputies responded to reports of a male and female fighting at 660 Jefferson Road at 12:55 p.m.
Upon arrival, deputies found a male on top of a female, pinning her to the ground.
Deputies learned the male and female were in a relationship and the physical fight resulted from an earlier argument.
As deputies approached to separate both parties, Dakota Nesbitt-Johnson ignored commands and returned to the vehicle he was driving.
Nesbitt-Johnson locked the doors as deputies continued to order him to exit the vehicle.
He refused, started the vehicle and attempted to back up to leave.
A deputy located behind the vehicle was nearly struck as Nesbitt-Johnson attempted to drive in reverse.
Nesbitt-Johnson eventually exited the vehicle and began to fight with a deputy who was at the driver’s door.
Deputies took Nesbitt-Johnson into custody.
One deputy suffered a lower leg injury that required transport to a local hospital for treatment.
Nesbitt-Johnson’s actions also resulted in minor damage to an unoccupied parked vehicle that was struck as he attempted to drive in reverse.
The female suffered apparent minor injuries from the attack and declined transport to the hospital.
Dakota Nesbitt-Johnson, 19, of Rochester, is charged with assault in the third degree, assault in the second degree, obstructing governmental administration in the second degree, resisting arrest and reckless endangerment in the second degree.
Following the arrest, Nesbitt-Johnson was transported to Monroe County CAP court, arraigned and released to pre-trial supervision pending his next court date.
