Willimantic police said they arrested a man three times in one day and the third time was because the suspect allegedly attacked an officer.
Jerremy Jimenez, 20, was charged with assault on an officer, disorderly conduct, interfering with an emergency call and violation of conditions of release.
Police said Jimenez was arrested Monday morning around 10:39 a.m. after a family dispute then released on a $1,500 bond. Later the same day he was arrested again on accusations that he returned to the home and created a disturbance.
According to police, Jimenez was taken back to police headquarters after the second arrest. He was arrested again when he attacked an officer in the cell block area, police said.
The officer was not seriously injured and is back on patrol duty after being treated, Lt. Stanley Parizo Jr. said in an email.
Jimenez is being held on a $20,000 and is due in court Tuesday morning.
