TEWKSBURY, MASS. (WHDH) - A man from Methuen is facing multiple charges after he allegedly assaulted three Tewksbury police officers during a dispute at a hotel, according to officials.
The Tewksbury Police Department said Patrick Buckley, 36, was arrested after officers were called to a hotel on Andover Street around noon on Saturday, May 13.
