Richard Mancilla
A San Benito man accused of assaulting his brother-in-law faces additional charges after allegedly biting a police officer.
Richard Mancilla, 26, of San Benito was taken into custody Wednesday, May 8, on charges of assault on a public servant, a third degree felony, resisting arrest and assault (family violence) – class A misdemeanors.
The charges stem from a domestic disturbance call reported on the 500 block of Lovett Road at approximately 7:26 p.m., Detective Rogelio Banda Jr. of the San Benito Police Department stated in a press release.
Mancilla, who was accused of “physically” assaulting his brother-in-law, was reportedly hiding inside the bathroom of a Lovett Road residence. It was at that point when matters escalated.
“When the officers made contact with the subject, he pushed and bit an officer on his lower arm,” Banda stated in the release, further reporting that officers used pepper spray on Mancilla “in order to stop the subject’s aggression.”
It was also noted in the release that the police officer that was bitten did not require hospitalization but was treated on the scene.
Officers restrained Mancilla and transported him to City Jail, where he was booked on the aforementioned charges. Mancilla remains incarcerated at the Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center in Olmito on $25,000 total bond set by Municipal Court Judge Ben Yudesis.

But the cop did in fact touch a wild boar, wild boar is this guys nickname. I forgot you should know it isnt a easy solution with dead beats, cause you are a dead beat! Youre probably even a cop too, therefore a dead beat cop!
Except a cop wouldn’t touch a wild boar, he would just kill it if it was aggressive and a threat to civilized humans. And that would end all future problems with that “wild boar”. Unfortunately it isn’t as easy a “solution” with dead beats.
ha ha good maybe the cop will learn not to touch a wild boar
