Resisting arrest charge: Stanley Joseph Demaske, 34, of 436 Fourth St., Mather, was charged by state police with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct after police arrested him on a warrant in January. State police said they assisted Waynesburg Borough police in executing an arrest warrant on Demaske at his father’s house on Jefferson Road Jan. 13. Demaske allegedly refused to cooperate, stating, “I’m not going to jail,” and “The only way I’m leaving is in a body bag,” the criminal complaint said. Police said they told Demaske that they were not there to hurt him and that they wanted to explain the warrant to him. Demaske allegedly told them, “Well someone is leaving in a body bag.” When police started to approach Demaske, he allegedly became aggressive, told them to stay away and threatened them again saying, “I’m gonna lock myself in the other room and by the time the bomb squad shows up, I will have enough supplies to put up a good fight,” the complaint said.
