TIFFIN, OH (TiffinOhio.net News) — A Bloomville man who assaulted Seneca County Sheriff’s Office deputies while they were arresting him in November on two outstanding warrants has been found guilty of two charges.

Court records show Jeffrey R. Sergent II, 36, of Bloomville, was found guilty of assault on a peace officer (fourth-degree felony) and resisting arrest (first-degree misdemeanor) on Tuesday in Seneca County Common Pleas Court Judge Steve Shuff’s courtroom.

Sergent was arrested back in November on two outstanding warrants. When deputies responded to his residence to serve the warrant, Sergent resisted arrest and a Taser was used by deputies. The Ohio State Highway Patrol also assisted during the November arrest.
