23-year-old Steve Midgett Jr. was booked on an outstanding warrant from May 10th, 2020. On that day, police received a report from Midgett Jr.’s cousin stating that during a funeral at Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, Midgett Jr. offered a few words. During the concluding remarks, Midgett Jr. stepped on the podium and began lambasting the deceased. This caused a brawl inside the church, which continued outside into the parking lot. While the police were quelling the crowd, Midgett Jr. told his cousin, “You’re dead,” which placed her in fear.

On February 26, while officers attempted to arrest Midgett Jr. on the outstanding warrant, he resisted, preventing officers from escorting him to the patrol car. Officers commanded several times to stop resisting, but he continued to resist and refused to sit down in the patrol vehicle. Midgett Jr. was taken into custody for resisting arrest and domestic assault on February 26th.
