A Hunter Street man is in Mahoning County jail on a charge he assaulted a Humility of Mary Health Partners police officer in the emergency room at St. Elizabeth Health Center about 8:30 p.m. Monday.

Reports said Derrick Tillman, 50, shoved an officer into a computer and X-ray tray when he was escorted out of the emergency room. Reports said Tillman was being treated in the emergency room and refused to leave when the treatment was finished.

The officer who was shoved had a cut on his forearm and a bruise on his back.

Tillman was arraigned Wednesday in Youngstown Municipal Court on charges of resisting arrest, obstructing official business and assault on a police officer as well as a failure-to-appear warrant.
