from today's Police Blotter.

HANOVER TWP. – A man was arrested by township police early Wednesday morning for allegedly assaulting a 2-year-old boy and an officer.

William C. MacBlain, 23, of Hanover Village, was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, resisting arrest, reckless endangerment and two counts of disorderly conduct. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail.

According to the criminal complaint:

Township police responded to a dispute at an apartment in Hanover Village just after 4 a.m. and encountered a man, identified as MacBlain, outside yelling.

A woman inside told police MacBlain and others were inside the apartment drinking alcohol. She came down from upstairs to remove a 2-year-old boy from the room when MacBlain began to argue with the woman.

Police alleged MacBlain shoved the child, who suffered an arm injury, the criminal complaint says.

Once outside the apartment, MacBlain head-butted an officer causing a laceration near the officer’s eye, police said.

A preliminary hearing is tentatively scheduled on Jan. 22 in Central Court.
