WESTFIELD – Forty-three-year-old Ronald P. Skroczky was taken into custody by police shortly after 7 p.m. in his Feeding Hills Road apartment after having been shot with a taser after being combative toward officers, police said.
Police took Skroczky into custody and had him brought by ambulance to Noble Hospital for observation following a report of several shots fired in his apartment, which is in a complex at 22 Feeding Hills Road, according to Westfield Police Sgt. Eric D. Hall.
Hall said police brought Skroczky to the hospital because he had been stunned by the taser as well as to determine whether he had any substance abuse issues.
Investigators are still interviewing a woman who was in the apartment with Skroczky at the time the shots were fired as well as other people who were in the complex at the time of the incident.
Hall said police are still sorting out what charges will be filed against Skroczky. No one was hit by gunfire and the disturbance was over in about 10 minutes, according to Hall.
“I don’t know exactly what the issue was,” Hall said.
About seven police officers were sent to the scene, according to Hall, who said they confiscated several guns from the apartment. Police responding to the scene blocked off Feeding Hills Road to all traffic for several minutes.
