The complaint states that upon arriving at the location, Patrolman Rosenberger could hear yelling coming from inside the residence. He proceeded to the front window of the residence and observed a man, identified as David Guth, sitting on top of a known woman.

According to the complaint, Patrolman Rosenberger and the other officers then yelled for the man to open the door, but he refused. At that time, the officers began to kick in the door in an attempt to gain entry to the residence.

The man then released the woman, and she ran to the back door and let the officers inside the residence. Guth was then handcuffed and placed inside a marked police vehicle, the complaint states.

Charges were filed on Sunday, October 28, in Magisterial District Judge Andrew F. Fish’s office.
