A Jim Thorpe man has been charged with resisting arrest after assaulting a woman.

According to the affidavit of probable cause filed by patrolman Robert Carelli of the Jim Thorpe Police Department in the case against Jamalie Stanley:

On March 28, Carelli responded to a home in the 600 block of South Street in the borough to investigate an assault case.

The victim said that she was choked by Stanley, 35, and that he just left the residence.

She said that Stanley was drinking and was giving the victim problems since about 2 a.m.

She said that at around 5 a.m., he grabbed her and started choking her to the point where she could not breathe or call out for help.

The victim’s two sons heard a “bang” coming from the victim’s bedroom.

Both boys went to the victim’s bedroom and witnessed what was happening and jumped on Stanley’s back to make him stop.

Carelli saw Stanley was hiding behind a vehicle across the street, but when he called to him, he ran off westbound up Seventh Street.

Carelli put out an alert for Stanley and the vehicle he was driving.

At around 6:38 a.m., patrolman Frank Buonaiuto of the Franklin Township Police Department saw him walking down Route 903 in a southbound direction.

Carelli arrived and was attempting to place him in handcuffs, when he resisted. Carelli requested assistance from another officer.

While walking to the rear of Carelli’s patrol unit, Stanley fell to the ground and refused to get up, continuing to resist attempts to place him in the patrol unit, and it took four officers to finally get him secure in the rear of the patrol unit.

Stanley smashed his head off the plastic divider in the patrol unit multiple times while being driven to the hospital.

While at the hospital, Stanley was continually uncooperative and occasionally combative with officers and medical staff.

Stanley also broke a restraining strap device while at the hospital.

Stanley faces charges of simple assault; strangulation; harassment; resisting arrest; and institutional vandalism.

He is currently incarcerated in the Carbon County Correctional Facility in lieu of $100,000 monetary bail, and scheduled to have a preliminary hearing April 6 before District Judge Eric M. Schrantz of Jim Thorpe.
