HAZLETON &mdash; A man from Hazleton stopped by city police for vehicle violations struggled twice with officers, including kicking one officer three or four times in the chest, according to court records.
				Roberto Carlos Herrera, 24, of Seybert Street, was seen driving an Infiniti with heavily tinted windows and an inoperable license plate light on West 15th Street at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, court records say.
				Herrera turned into a Turkey Hill&rsquo;s parking lot on Alter Street.
				After Herrera parked, police allege he exited his vehicle, refusing to obey an officer&rsquo;s commands to return to his vehicle.
				Police in court records say Herrera told the officers, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t need to get in my car,&rdquo; and proceeded to yell at people in the lot.
				Herrera initiated a struggle with the officer causing the officer&rsquo;s body camera to fall from its harness, court records say.
				Police allege Herrera continued to struggle with the officer until he was handcuffed.
				Herrera was transported to the Hazleton Police Department where he initiated a second struggle with officers, kicking one officer three or four times in the chest, court records say.
				Herrera was arraigned Thursday by District Judge Rick Cronauer of Wilkes-Barre on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, harassment, driving with a suspended license and two vehicle code violations. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail.
