Man Charged With Battery On An Officer

{Cross Lanes, West Virginia}...Donald Charles Canaday, 48, of Crab Orchard, in Raleigh County, was arrested Sunday morning and charged with two counts of battery on an officer, obstructing an officer and public intoxication. Deputies went to the Comfort Inn in Cross Lanes about 1:30 A.M. after Canaday allegedly took off his shirt and threatened a bartender who stopped selling alcohol to him and 33 year old Christy Lynn Bolen of Naoma before they left the bar. Deputy Hannah Shipman found the couple in a nearby hallway. Canaday allegedly spat on Deputy Shipman while being put in a sheriff's cruiser, kicked at the windows, banged his head repeatedly against the inside of the car and threatened to kill police officers, burn their houses and kill their families. He allegedly took a swing at Deputy Ryan Meadows while he was being booked.
