He was then told he was under arrest.  In his pocket was the stolen cell phone. As Officer Cirri was trying to handcuff Cowan he pushed him away. He stated that he was not going to be arrested. Cowan continued to struggle to get away. Through compliance holds, the officers were able to handcuff Cowan.  He would not walk to the patrol car  A set of car keys were still in his hand.  He would not give them up to Officer Cirri. After more of a stuggle the officer got the keys out of Cowan’s hand.  Cowan was told to get into the patrol car but said “NO!”  He was picked up by the officers and put in the car.  At the station Cowan would give any information for the arrest report.  He was charged and given over to Roxbury Police Department so they could charge him.
