Charleston Police Arrest Dunbar Man
WEST VIRGINIA....
A man who tried to turn himself in on nonexistent criminal warrants later found himself behind bars. Brian Keith Peters, 40, of Finney Hollow Drive in Dunbar called the Charleston Police Department Tuesday night and said he wanted to turn himself in because of outstanding warrants, but he was told there were no warrants out for his arrest. A few minutes later, an occupant at the same address as Peters called police saying Peters was causing a disturbance, while screaming and profanity were heard in the background of the call. When police went to the residence, they found Peters continuing to cause a disturbance and holding a bottle of vodka. An officer asked him to put the bottle down so that it would not become a weapon, but Peters refused and walked toward the officer in what is described as a threatening manner. After a brief struggle, Peters was charged with obstructing an officer.
