A 24-year-old man who said he was high on cocaine was found biting an elevator door at the Westin Hotel at Town Center and then fought a police officer who tried to arrest him, according to court records.
William Catoe, of the 4000 block of Marlboro Drive in Virginia Beach, was "out of control" early Tuesday when the officer found him locking his teeth on the elevator door on the hotel's 11th floor, according to jail and court records.
Officer Brandon Foss tried to arrest Catoe for public intoxication but instead became Catoe's next target, and a fight ensued, a Circuit Court affidavit says.
Foss subdued Catoe and took him to a local hospital, where Catoe reportedly admitted injecting cocaine that was "crazy and bad." Officers searched his room and found syringes and a glass container with suspected cocaine, the affidavit says.
Catoe has been charged with malicious wounding, assaulting a police officer, attempting to disarm a police officer, disorderly conduct, drug possession and destruction of property.
He still was being treated at a hospital, sheriff's spokeswoman Paula Miller said.
