ASHEBORO — A call from a concerned pizza delivery worker resulted in a man assaulting an officer and being taken into custody Tuesday evening.

According to an incident report from the Asheboro Police Department, four officers responded to 1602 Humble St., Apt. 102, Asheboro, in reference to a possible overdose around 8 p.m.

The 911 caller, a Domino’s delivery worker, told officers he was delivering a pizza to one of the nearby apartments when he noticed a man come out of a different apartment, fall into the grass in front of the porch and then walk back inside.

Officers knocked on the door of that apartment to conduct a welfare check. A man, identified as Brian Alan Bauer, 43, of 1602 Humble St., Apt. 102, Asheboro, came to the door.

Bauer refused to answer police when asked if he had taken any medication or impairing substances. He stated he was fine and did not need EMS.

Bauer then became violent, throwing vinyl records, striking an officer in the leg. He then charged at officers with his hands in the air.

Officers attempted to place Bauer under his arrest, but a struggle ensued as he resisted.

After the brief struggle, he was placed in handcuffs.

Randolph County EMS arrived on scene to evaluate Bauer. He was transported to the Randolph Health for high blood pressure, but refused treatment, was released and taken to the Randolph County Jail.

Bauer was charged with assault on a government official and resist/delay/obstruct.

He is being held at the jail under a $10,000 secured bond and it set to appear in court April 1.
