Charges Filed After Man Fights with Police/Fire Department

One person is facing multiple charges after fighting with law enforcement and EMS personnel in Wheeling.
 
Around 5 p.m., Thursday, the Wheeling police and fire departments responded to an overdose on 14th Street in East Wheeling.  

When Wheeling Fire Department EMTs/paramedics personnel arrived on the scene to offer medical treatment to Brandon Losby, 50 of Wheeling, he became aggressive and started punching and biting them. Police then intervened, and Losby continued his fight with law enforcement. 

Officers and fire department employees were then able to get Losby to stop the fighting and place him in handcuffs.

After being medically evaluated at Wheeling Hospital, officers took him to the Northern Regional Jail in Moundsville.

Losby is facing two counts of obstructing, two counts of battery on a government official, and assault on an officer.
