WARREN — A Warren man accused of swinging an IV pole at hospital police bonded out of jail, but failed to appear in Warren Municipal Court Monday morning.

Charles Duke III, 45, faces charges of inducing panic, disorderly conduct-intoxication and resisting arrest.

A warrant was filed for failure to appear, court records show.

According to a police report, Warren police were called to St. Joseph Warren Hospital Saturday after Mercy Health police requested emergency backup, with dispatchers saying that a man, later identified as Duke, was swinging an IV pole as a baseball bat and fighting with them.

Officers were waved down by several nurses outside the emergency room’s doors, who led them down the hallway and to Duke, who was barricaded behind a patient bed with two oxygen tanks at his backside.

The report states Duke was wielding a metal pole and had a metal patient tray tucked into the front of his jeans to protect the front of his body.

Blood also covered Duke’s arms, shirt and jeans, according to officers, who noted that they did not know whether it came from Duke himself or someone he had assaulted in the hospital.

The report states officers pointed their stun weapons at Duke and ordered him to drop the pole, which he eventually placed on the hospital bed — removing the metal tray, too.

The report states the items remained within arms’ reach of him, however, and Duke did not comply with orders to get on his knees, leading he officer to approach him and move him backwards away from the pole.

Duke caught himself from falling back and recovered, continuing to ignore commands, and he was back within an arm’s length of the pole — leading officers to deploy their stun weapons to take him into custody, the report states.

A doctor on scene gave a post shock assessment and cleared him to be taken to the Trumbull County jail.

Hospital staff told officers later that Duke had been seen and cleared by a doctor prior to the incident, but became irate with staff and refused to leave, according to the report.

The report states that Duke broke off a piece of an IV pole and barricaded himself in the patient hallway, causing a panic throughout the building and a disturbance for patients being seen and nursing staff, who were obstructed from providing care.

Court records state Duke is to be held without bond once he is caught.
