Police serve warrant, local man allegedly fights back

One man was taken into custody after he allegedly refused to go to a hospital.

State police at Huntingdon said a mental health warrant was obtained for Vance Andrew Meyers, 27, of Huntingdon. Authorities said he refused to leave his home at about noon Thursday. Meyers had a knife in his hand and resisted three officers inside the house, according to a release.

During a “struggle,” police said he caused officers to have broken fingers, cuts, abrasions and bruises.

Meyers was then taken J.C. Blair Memorial Hospital.

Police said charges will be filed against Meyers.
