On Tuesday, November 05, 2024, at 11:42 PM, Upper Allen Police were dispatched to an active domestic and DUI investigation. The male suspect, later identified as Nicholas Simmons, had been operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, made threats to crash his vehicle, and placed his passenger in fear for her life. An investigation showed that Simmons was under the influence of alcohol to a degree that rendered him incapable of safely operating a vehicle and his operating privilege was suspended. When confronted by officers, Simmons resisted arrest but was promptly taken into custody. Two officers sustained minor injuries during the arrest. Simmons was transported to Cumberland County Central Booking where he was arraigned on the charges. A preliminary hearing will be held at a later date.
