E.Z Emerson

40-year-old Eric Feagles was observed stumbling down the sidewalk with a drink in his hand near 3rd Avenue North on June 28th. Then, Feagles walked past a green dumpster and pushed a motorized scooter onto the ground. Sergeant Bennett observed Feagles do this and ordered him to stop. Feagles continued walking, disregarding Bennett’s commands, until Bennett utilized his flashlight and grabbed Feagles by his shirt. During this interaction, Feagles pulled away from Bennett and told him, “I push all scooters down because I’m from Washington DC.” When Bennett asked Feagles if he could get a cab or a rideshare home, Feagles stated he would rather walk to his hotel. Feagles was visibly impaired, so Bennett gave him multiple chances to get a ride to his hotel. Despite this, Feagles repeatedly refused to do so. This prompted Bennett to detain Feagles, causing him to become resistive. Bennett then performed a “controlled leg sweep” and successfully handcuffed Feagles. Feagles was deemed unable to care for himself and was taken into custody for public intoxication and resisting arrest.
