Police pepper-spray student who resisted arrest

Man also charged with residential entry, battery

An IU student was pepper-sprayed by Bloomington police after resisting arrest Sunday. Police were dispatched to the 400 block of East Third Street in response to a 911 call about 12:15 a.m., said Sgt. Jeff Canada, who read from a police report.\nCanada said the caller was playing games on his computer when he heard someone open the front door. He went downstairs and discovered that a male subject, whom he did not know, had entered his residence, Canada said. The male subject was later identified as Anthony Gabriel, 21, according to the police report.\nThe person who called 911 told Gabriel to get out, and Gabriel responded by saying, “No, you get out,” Canada said. Gabriel began fighting with the caller until police arrived and separated the two. Gabriel continued to fight with officers, who used pepper spray to subdue him, Canada said.\nGabriel was arrested and booked into Monroe County Jail for residential entry, battery and resisting law enforcement. He was released later that day at 1:30 p.m. on a bond of $4,000 surety and $500 cash, said Monroe County Correctional Officer Joseph Pardue.
