Timothy Daniel Payton, 42 of Armuchee, was jailed this week after a struggle with police following a domestic dispute with a 69 year-old woman.
Reports said that Payton grabbed the elder woman by the arm during an argument while yelling in her face.
Officers added that while attempting to place him under arret he grabbed a pole in the home in an effort to prevent police from placing his arms behind his back in handcuffs.
Payton is charged with simple battery and obstruction.
