MORRIS COUNTY — A 68-year-old Randolph man is facing multiple charges following a disturbance at a hotel in Hanover Township, according to police.
Hanover Township police responded to the Extended Stay America on Saturday, July 25, after receiving a report of a man acting irate and out of control. Officers arrived to find the man, identified as Mark Kwiatkoski, at the front desk pointing and yelling at an employee, police said.
Officers attempted to calm Kwiatkoski but were unsuccessful and escorted him outside, according to police. Authorities said he then directed his anger toward officers and refused to provide his identity.
When police informed Kwiatkoski he was under arrest, he allegedly began pulling away from officers, according to police. He was taken to the ground and handcuffed while continuing to resist, police said.
Kwiatkoski sustained minor abrasions to his face and knee during the incident and was taken by ambulance to a hospital for evaluation, accompanied by an officer, according to police.
He was charged with the following:
- Disorderly conduct
- Terroristic threats
- Obstruction
- Hindering
- Resisting arrest
After being cleared at the emergency room, Kwiatkoski was lodged in the Morris County Jail pending a detention hearing.
