Lansford police arrested two men on charges stemming from domestic disturbances.

Daniel Hollan, 27, 21 W. Patterson St., faces charges from an incident which took place on Jan. 9 at that address. Charges were field by Officer Brian Horos. Hollan is charged with escape, resisting arrest, two counts of simple assault, possession of drug paraphernalia, and harassment. He was arraigned before District Judge Edward Lewis and committed to Carbon County prison.According to an affidavit of probable cause, Horos responded to a call at the address at 7:45 a.m. that day. The victim, Tina Phillips, told him that her paramour, Hollan, had arrived at their shared residence at about 5:15 a.m. and had begun to assault her. Phillips described, both verbally and in writing, how Hollan had allegedly grabbed her by the throat, choking her, and had slapped her about the face. She was in fear for her safety and waited until Hollan had passed out before calling the police.Horos observed red marks on Phillips' face and neck. The front of her neck was especially red and appeared to have been rubbed raw.While taking Hollan into custody, Horos discovered and seized a metal pipe that he had been carrying in his pocket. This pipe had wire packed into one end and some residue on the wire. This type of paraphernalia is consistent with the type of pipe used to smoke crack cocaine.As Horos was attempting to place Hollan into the cruiser, he allegedly attempted to pull away from the officer, causing Horos to believe Hollan was attempting to escape. "Because of his actions, I had to use sufficient force to prevent Hollan from resisting my efforts to arrest him," Horos wrote.After arriving at the police station, Horos allowed Hollan to use the restroom. After doing so, Hollan was again handcuffed and cuffed to the detention bench. Hollan allegedly used this opportunity to slip the handcuff from his wrist.He stood up and announced "I'm (expletive) out of here!" and escaped through the main door of the station. Horos and Officer Hannon chased Hollan about one block from the station before catching him as he tried to elude capture by running through yards.When finally cornered, Hollan turned and squared off in a fighting stance with both officers and refused all verbal direction and orders to comply with officers. Because of this resistance, I had to use substantial force to overcome Hollen's resistance. Even after being taken to the ground, Hollan continued to refuse to follow verbal commands and give up his arms so he could be handcuffed.In the other case, Joseph Nemeth, also known as Charles Manson, 40, 237 E.
