Manchester Man Assaulted Officer, Police Say
Divine Grace faces charges after an incident last week.
A Manchester man who was out on probation for a weapons offense attacked a probation officer just days before Thanksgiving, Manchester Township Police said.
Divine Grace, 20, who was arrested in 2012 and later convicted of unlawful possession of a handgun, assaulted an officer on Neal Place on Nov. 26, police said.
Grace had been sentenced to two years of probation in May, stemming from his arrest following a car stop on Route 37, where he ran from police after they found a concealed .22-caliber pistol on him.
