Authorities say at approximately 4:30-p.m. Adams County Deputies were dispatched to the area of John Street for a vehicle accident. The individuals that called the Sheriff’s Office advised that the driver of the vehicle failed to stop at numerous stop signs and nearly collided with numerous vehicles.

The caller then advised Adams County Dispatch that they had identified the driver as William Coleman. When the deputies arrived to the scene, the vehicle was unoccupied. Deputies contacted Coleman via phone; however Coleman refused to inform Deputies of his whereabouts or cooperate with the accident investigation.

During that time, William Coleman struck an Adams County Deputy with his fist. After the assault, Adams County Deputies removed William Coleman from the vehicle and placed him under arrest.

William Coleman was charged with Interference with Official Acts Causing an Injury, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, Operating a Vehicle without Insurance, Failure to Maintain Control and Failure to Obey a Stop sign. Barbara Coleman was also arrested and charged with Accessory after the Fact.
