MESA, AZ — Three police officers are hurt and a 21-year-old man is in custody after a fight at a Dutch Bros in Mesa.

Mesa police say they received a call Saturday morning for a man, later identified as Tegan Williams, being verbally abusive with staff at the location near Power and Ray roads.

Williams reportedly left before the officers arrived, but he returned while police were at the scene to confront the officers.

According to Mesa police, Williams approached officers in a hostile manner. That is when police deployed a taser that did not connect with the man.

Following that, a fight broke out between officers and the man, leaving three of the officers with injuries.

Mesa police say one officer suffered a broken hand and another was knocked unconscious. The third officer also suffered a hand injury.

The man is facing multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, including aggravated assault, aggravated assault on law enforcement, and resisting arrest.
