Oklahoma City police arrested a man Thursday night after he allegedly punched an officer in the face.

Joseph Lugrand, 20, was arrested at a house in the 5700 block of S.E. 48th Street.

According to the police report, officers responded to a fight between Lugrand and his twin brother at that home. They attempted to arrest Lugrand, but he resisted.

Police say the officer then tried to grab Lugrand's hand and search him, that's when he punched one officer in the face.

It took two officers to wrestle Lugrand to the floor, but he continued to resist arrest. The officers eventually had to use a Taser on Lugrand and took him into custody.
