What happened at the concert, and what Bryan Martin was charged with?

Bryan Martin took the stage at the Schaghticoke Fair on Friday evening. As per the reports by 973 The Dawg, he was intoxicated or was possibly consuming additional substances.

His performance did not end normally, but instead, the police showed up. When they attempted to escort him off stage, he did not comply. He did not leave when told, and that was why he was arrested. He was charged with resisting arrest or resisting law enforcement. This is the only known formal charge so far, as per the reports by 973 The Dawg.
