Clarence Sanford, 21, was arrested on charges of breaking and entering, resisting arrest and assault. Police said Sanford slipped out of handcuffs in a cruiser at least twice. As police were taking him out of the cruiser to restrain him, he began fighting back, and police Tazed him twice before re-cuffing him.
An officer was punched in the mouth and suffered minor injuries during the struggle, police said.
Sanford was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital to be examined before he was booked into jail.
Beth Fox, 33, a neighbor of Sanford, created a disturbance and was asked to leave by the convenience store owner, police said. After refusing, she was arrested on a charge of criminal trespassing.
