Charges are expected against two men for their alleged role in the attack on three Sparta police officers.

Three Sparta officers were injured while responding to noise complaint around 2:15 Saturday morning.

Police found an underage drinking party when they arrived at the house on the 300-block of South Court Street.

As they investigated the party, a man grabbed an officer and hit him in the chest.

At the same time, another man jumped on the officer's back and tried to put him in a headlock.

One of the men fled back into the house, and continued to fight when officers attempted to arrest him.

Police used pepper spray and a taser to subdue him.

The three officers were taken to Sparta hospital where they were treated and released.

Two other men were arrested for their involvement with the underage party.
