The suspect would not listen or cooperate with the officer when asked to leave the bar. When officers went to arrest the male for disorderly conduct, he resisted. Officers had to take the male to the ground in order to handcuff him, and in the process, one of the officer's arm/wrist was injured during the process of arresting him, when the suspect landed on the officer's arm. The male then began to make suicidal comments.
The male was taken to the hospital for medical and mental evaluation. While in the ER, the male continued to yell and scream, using racial slurs and derogatory names and he told two officers he was going kill them.
Once medically cleared, the male was taken to jail and charged with two felonies, threatening a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with injury, and two misdemeanors, disorderly conduct (two counts) and bail jumping. The injured officer was seen in the ER and found not to have a broken wrist, but sustained a sprain with a soft tissue injury.
This same male had been arrested by police on October 4, and was out on bond conditions for charges of disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. (conditions of the bond were to not drink any alcohol and to not commit further crimes) During that incident, it was reported the male was screaming and yelling obscenities out of an upstairs apartment window in the 3rd Ave business district. The male was found to be intoxicated and issued an ordinance citation for disorderly conduct; the male responded he did not care. Approximately 10 minutes after leaving the suspects apartment, the male came outside and was on the sidewalk on Michigan St. The male began to yell racial slurs which was heard and observed by the officer. Officers arrested the male for a criminal offense of disorderly conduct. During the arrest process, the male resisted officers and refused to follow officer's commands, which lead to the second charge of resisting an officer.
