Police in Bristol, Connecticut, responded to a domestic disturbance on Thursday afternoon and ended up fending the man off when they say he tried to bite one of the responding officers.
Officers say they responded to the call at 2:50 p.m. and found Gregory Lamboy, 29, of Bristol, hiding in a closet.
Police determined that he had assaulted a female who had a protective order against him, police said.
At first, Lamboy would not come out of the closet, police said. When he finally did, he struggled with police, as well as a police dog, spit in an officer’s face and tried to bite the officer, who sustained a minor injury, police said.
Lamboy was charged with assault on a police officer, interfering with a police officer, criminal violation of a protective order, criminal trespass in the first degree, assault in the third degree, risk of injury to a minor, breach of peace in the second degree and possession of less than a half ounce of marijuana.
He was also charged with two counts of failure to appear in the second degree on outstanding arrest warrants.
Lamboy was held on a total bond of $175,000 for the domestic arrest as well as the two failure to appear warrants.
