Officers and an employee of John Craven Bail Bonds approached Gibbs in the Meijer parking lot at 1500 Hillcrest Ave. and notified him he was under arrest on the three active warrants.
Gibbs began fighting with officers and all three wound up on the ground. Gibbs was pepper sprayed before being taken into custody.
One of the officers was transported by medics to the Springfield Regional Medical Center for injuries to an arm. After placing Gibbs in jail, the other officer was transported to the hospital for a possible head injury and for injuries to his arms.
Gibbs pleaded not guilty the assault and resisting arrest charges during his arraignment Monday in Clark County Municipal Court. Bond was set at $20,000 for the assault charges and $1,000 for the resisting arrest charge.
