Staff Reports

Three teens were arrested after they allegedly argued with police officers Wednesday night on Grant Street.

Samantha M. Reed, 16, and Nicholas J. Reed, 17, both of 251 Genesee St., Apt. 1, and Izayah L. Eustace, 17, of 219 Park Ave., Apt. 3, were each arrested about 9:33 p.m. after officers responded to Grant Street for a report of an unwanted party.

A large group of individuals had reportedly gathered at the home to watch a fight between a resident and another woman.

The other woman was gone by the time officers arrived, the report said.

While officers were interviewing witnesses, Eustace allegedly began acting in an aggressive manner and used obscene language towards the officers.

Eustace allegedly began to walk away. When officers told him to stop walking, Eustace allegedly moved toward the officers aggressively.

Officers physically subdued Eustace and charged him with second-degree obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct.

While Eustace was being handcuffed, Samantha Reed allegedly jumped on an officer’s back in an attempt to interfere with the arrest. She was also physically subdued by officers.

She was charged with second-degree harassment and second-degree obstructing governmental administration.

Nicholas Reed allegedly used obscene language and acted in an aggressive manner toward the officers. He was arrested without incident and charged with disorderly conduct.

Eustace and Samantha Reed were each held in lieu of $350 bail. Nicholas Reed was held in lieu of $100 bail.

All are due Monday in Lockport City Court.
