Editor's note: This post was updated with information from the University of Michigan Athletic Department regarding Connolly's role.
ANN ARBOR, MI - The director of performance for the University of Michigan athletic department resisted police, grabbed a security guard's throat and bit a lab technician after his arrest March 5 on suspicion of drunken driving, a police report states.
Fergus Connolly, 40, also told an officer he would "put him in a wheelchair," according to the police report.
Connolly has not been formally charged in the incident. Police say they are waiting for laboratory results, which could take several weeks.
An Ann Arbor police report obtained through the Freedom of Information Act details the allegations against Connolly: that he crashed an SUV - one that may have been a university vehicle - while drunk driving, was combative, shouted profanities, refused a preliminary breath test and denied he was drunk.

Connolly's Ann Arbor-based attorney, Joseph Simon, in an email on Wednesday, March 14, declined to comment on the police report before formal charges are filed.
Connolly joined Michigan's athletic department in 2016 and has spent the last two seasons as the football team's director of performance.
There had been no change to Connolly's job status with the university as of Tuesday evening, Michigan football spokesman Dave Ablauf said. Ablauf had not seen the police report and would not comment on the allegations to The Ann Arbor News.
Ablauf clarified Connolly's job responsibilities on Wednesday:
"He is employed by the athletic department but has not been working with football since we returned from the bowl game."
Michigan played in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 in Tampa, Florida. Ablauf would not say why Connolly was not working with the football team, where he served for two seasons.
Connolly added the role of football operations director in 2017. He was still listed as a member of the football program -- with the title of director of performance science -- on the athletic department's website on Wednesday.
