Christian Lamont Tanner, 34 of Rome, was arrested this week after reports said he fought with officers while they were taking him into custody on traffic charges.

Police said that they stopped Tanner on Maple Street for driving on an expired tag.  Tanner then reportedly refused to give officers his driver’s license as well as provide them with a name or date of birth.

When officers attempted to place him under arrest, Tanner is accused of pulling away and not placing his hands behind his back.

Tanner is charged with obstruction, driving without license in possession and operation of an unregistered vehicle.
