New Bedford Man Arrested Following Incident in Onset Center

WAREHAM — A New Bedford man was arrested following an incident in Onset Center last week. 

Police say Kyle Silva, 50, of New Bedford, was arrested after a scuffle in which an officer from the Department of Natural Resources was assaulted. 

Silvia allegedly pushed the officer during the disturbance, and then violently resisted arrest while yelling obscenities. Silvia was finally subdued when the Harbormaster arrived and assisted in handcuffing him. 

Multiple Wareham Police units arrived to assist after an urgent call for back-up was received. 

Silva is charged with assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and resisting arrest.
