WARSAW â A Warsaw man on probation for dealing drugs and who was arrested for prostitution-related charges in Batavia has been indicted on charges that he assaulted a police officer.
David M. Schmieder, 26, appeared in Wyoming County Court last week to answer an indictment charging him with second-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence, both felonies, along with resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct.
Schmieder entered a not guilty plea and the case was adjourned until Feb. 25.
Schmieder is accused of assaulting a Wyoming County sheriffâs deputy during an arrest on Sept. 24 in Warsaw.
Citizens called 911 reporting that a man was standing in the middle of Route 19 obstructing traffic and acting âirrationallyâ and yelling such things as he was âgoing to meet God,â police said at the time.
