NEW ALEXANDRIA MAN CONVICTED OF RESISTING ARREST

A New Alexandria man was convicted by a Westmoreland County Jury yesterday with resisting arrest.  The Trib reports that the jury convicted Denton Krapf, who was confronted by police as he was wandering through a New Kensington neighborhood on January 30th of 2023.  He claimed he was walking to a hospital for mental health treatment.  Krapf claimed that police used excessive force when bringing him into custody, and had filed a federal civil rights lawsuit last month to address that concern.  That case remains pending.
