Two arrested following traffic stop

A man and woman were arrested Sunday after they resisted arrest during a traffic stop.

Joel Montgomery, 54, of Spring Valley, Ohio, was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer.

Catherine Rae Montgomery, 24, of Columbus, Ohio, was charged with resisting arrest.

The Sheriff’s Office stopped a northbound Ford van that was driving on the bike path and crossing the lane divider on U.S. 1 near Mile Marker 6 at approximately 12:15 a.m.

Joel Montgomery was the driver. He initially refused to exit the van or lower his window. He eventually exited and attempted to close the door, hitting a Deputy while at the same time slamming his body against the Deputy. He then tensed his body and resisted efforts to be handcuffed.

Meanwhile, Catherine Rae Montgomery refused lawful commands to exit the truck. She also tensed up and resisted being handcuffed. Both suspects were taken to jail.
