From California-
A San Rafael man was arraigned Tuesday on charges he attacked police after refusing to leave a downtown church he claimed he owned, authorities said.
Wyatt Andrew Bishop, 53, was arrested Sunday at St. Paul's Episcopal Church at 1123 Court St. Police said Bishop tried to punch the face of one officer who asked him to leave the church, but the officer dodged the blow.
Two officers then deployed stun guns against Bishop, but both charges were "ineffective," according to a police report. Another officer arrived, and Bishop was handcuffed and taken to jail.
Bishop was charged with assault on a peace officer as well as obstructing and resisting a peace officer, Deputy District Attorney Kevin O'Hara said Tuesday. Both charges are misdemeanors.
Bishop remained in custody at the county jail Tuesday in lieu of $3,000 bail. A judge ordered a mental health examination and set another hearing for Monday.
