37-year-old Randall Morgan was causing a disturbance at Rivergate Parkway in the early hours of Saturday Morning when he became highly aggressive and agitated. Employees attempted to get Morgan out of the building, and as they did, he grabbed the security officer by the throat until officers arrived on the scene. While in custody and transport, Morgan told officers that he was a Federal Marshall and said to the arresting officer that he would “shoot him when he got out of jail and that there would be one less black person on the street.” When arriving at the intake room, Morgan turned around and kicked the officer in the chest before being taken down. Morgan was taken into custody and charged with assault and disorderly conduct.

22-year-old Joshua Tumnyni was driving recklessly on Long Hollow Pike on November 5th as he sped towards the left lane that officers had blocked off due to a disabled vehicle. As officers waved him down for questioning, Tumnyni attempted to re-enter the right lane. He advised officers that he noticed their blue lights activated and that the only reason that he was attempting to pass vehicles in the right lane was because he was running late for work. Tumnyni then continuously refused to provide his driver’s documents to officers. He sat back in his vehicle in a defensive posture after being warned that he would be removed if he kept being non-compliant. Officers opened the door and grabbed Tumnyni’s arm, and then he began reaching towards the passenger seat, causing officers to draw their tasers. Tumnyni was successfully removed from the vehicle as he told officers, “That’s why we need guns to kill officers.” He was taken into custody for reckless driving, resisting arrest, and retaliation for past actions.

Diamond Cooper

33-year-old Ian Brockway was jailed Tuesday night after his girlfriend reported that he wanted to kill himself due to their breakup. Ms. Thomas advised the police that Brockway had left the house with a knife. Police noted that they had multiple units looking for Brockway, but he was nowhere to be found. During the search, Brockway was still sending Ms. Thomas text messages about harming himself. He was finally found on the other side of a fence behind the residence. He was extremely intoxicated and refused to prove that he didn’t have any weapons by continuing to walk away toward the house. As officers attempted to place Brockway into cuffs, he pulled away until he was finally cuffed and walked to the patrol car, where he spat on Officer Edmund. While in booking, he told Officer Edmund that he would “find out where he lived and beat his ass.”
