GOSHEN -- A suspect injured three police officers late Thursday night, Goshen Capt. Zeb Rone said.

Police responded to a disturbance call at the Twin Bridges Apartments about 10:30 p.m.

Kelly Jendeski, 36, came outside and charged at the officers, police said. Police shocked Jendeski twice with a stun gun with no effect. Jendeski pulled out the probes and continued fighting.

Washington County Sheriff's deputies and Elkins police were called to assist.

It took nine officers to subdue Jendeski, Rone said. He and two Elkins officers received non-life-threatening injuries.

Jendeski was given sedatives that took about 30 minutes to work before officers could put him into a Central EMS vehicle. CEMS took him to the hospital where he was given more sedatives, Rone said.

Jendeski is at the Washington County Detention Center. He faces charges of three counts of felony battery on a police officer, public intoxication and resisting arrest.

The initial call was made by Jendeski's brother, who told police Jendeski showed up and began fighting with him, Rone said.
