On October 8, 2024, City units were dispatched to the Waffle House in reference to a man inside of the business smoking, throwing chairs, and not letting customers leave by laying on their vehicles. While en route, Dispatch advised City units that the male subject had tattoos on his face and was wearing a white shirt. A detective was the first to arrive.

Upon the City unit’s arrival, the officer observed the Detective speaking with the man. The Officer got out of his vehicle and walked up to them. The man looked at the Officer and grabbed his belongings on the ground, and then ran to the Detective’s truck and attempted to open the passenger side door. The City Officer grabbed his left wrist and told him to relax. The Detective gave him a direct order to stand in front of him by the abandoned store. He did not comply to the commands given to him.
