Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith says he’ll keep holding in-person events a day after a heated town hall in Warrick County.
Sheriff’s deputies arrested two people in Newburgh Wednesday after a woman allegedly shoved an officer on her way out the door. She’s charged with battery against a public safety official and other violations.
A second person is charged with resisting law enforcement and disorderly conduct, according to online court records.
“We're going to keep doing it, and hopefully people will learn their lesson," Beckwith said Thursday. "Don't be disruptive. Be civil."
Beckwith defended the officers' use of force, saying he witnessed both events.
"She shoved the officer hard. And when that happened, the officer took her down. As he should have,” Beckwith said.
Beckwith was in Bloomington speaking at a luncheon hosted by the Building Association of South Central Indiana.
