ARLINGTON, VA — A D.C. man has been arrested after shoving a police officer who had come to ban him and his friends from a restaurant that had asked the group to leave, police say.

Police were called to the 3000 block of Columbia Pike at around 6:05 p.m. on June 5 to a report of a group of disorderly people who were refusing to leave a restaurant at the request of management, according to a report from the Arlington County Police Department.

"As officers were attempting to conduct their investigation and ban the subjects from the property, one subject became combative and shoved an officer resulting in a physical struggle," the report states.

Police arrested 27-year-old Derrell Taylor of D.C. on charges of assault and battery on law enforcement, obstruction of justice, and failure to I.D. He is being held on a $5,000 secured bond.
