An intoxicated man assaulted a police officer downtown after the Cheerwine Festival on Saturday. He also had a small amount of marijuana, according to the Salisbury Police Department.

Major Sentell Sampson, 36, was charged Sunday with misdemeanor disorderly conduct; assault on a government official; resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer; and possession of a controlled substance Schedule VI. He remains in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $2,500 secured bond.
