Homeless man charged

WESTFIELD – A Westfield man residing at no fixed address was arraigned yesterday on one count of disorderly conduct.
Joshua Chobot, 25, was arrested Sunday afternoon outside of The Samaritan Inn on Free Street in Westfield. When officers responded at 3:47 p.m. to a report of a possibly drunk man attempting to fight with staff members, they found Chobot in the parking lot, shouting racial epithets at staff members and nearby bystanders.
The report added that Chobot was throwing objects at the building and spitting at staff members, and refused to calm down when asked to do so by police.
Chobot was released by Westfield District Court Judge Philip Contant on his own personal recognizance on Monday.
