The officer was also taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. CHP officers and San Luis Obispo County sheriff’s deputies assisted with the situation.

Police arrested Cryer on charges of resisting arrest and being under the influence of a controlled substance. Cryer is currently in San Luis Obispo County Jail with his bail set at $50,000.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
