Algers became aggressive when police called the mother of his children to come pick them up, and then instructed the kids to "bite the officers' faces off," a police report said.

The suspect resisted the officers and was subdued with a Taser, police said.

He was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and the original warrant, which officers did not specify.
