Expressway 83, in reference to a male subject that was being highly aggressive towards the clerk at location. Upon arrival, the officers observed a male who was later identified as Hugo Lugo (DOB 08/31/80) behind the cash register area of the store. The officers observed LUGO to be yelling and pacing back and forth in the back counter area of the store. As the officers approached LUGO, they ordered him to lie on the floor, which LUGO initially complied. As the officers attempted to place handcuffs on LUGO, he proceeded to resist by pulling his arms away and pushing the officers. The officers continued in attempts to control LUGO but he repeatedly pushed away and kept kicking and rolling around on the floor preventing the officers from handcuffing him. After a few minutes the officers were able to take control of LUGO and handcuffed him. The officers escorted LUGO to the unit and placed him on the rear seat.
