Man throws umbrella at cops, gets arrested
Let this be a lesson: Don’t go throwing purple umbrellas at police officers and yelling you’re “going to beat’ their behinds.
Dayton police were called late Sunday, April 25, to a home in the 600 block of Homewood on reports of family trouble. When they arrived, they found a car with a busted out windshield parked nearby. A man walked up to officers and claimed he had been jumped by several family members. He also admitted to breaking out the windshield with a brick.
Officers placed him in the back of squad car and later cited for criminal damaging. Officers tried to determine what had occurred. Several people were in the doorway of the home. When one officer approached, a young man shouted at the officer that he wouldn’t be allowed in the house if he was carrying a gun.
Then the 20-year-old started yelling he was going to fight the officer. Several other people restrained the man and hustled him back in the house after officers ordered them to do so.
While police interviewed a woman outside the home, the 20-year-old opened a window and started yelling again at officers, again claiming he would beat them. Finally, the young man ripped off the window screen and threw the purple umbrella at an officer, who dodged the flying object.
More crews were called to the scene, and it was decided the young man was heading for the county lockup. He did not go easily. He refused to come out of the room and wrestled with an officer, who took him to the ground. Still struggling, he was hit twice with a Taser before being handcuffed and led away.
The 20-year-old was booked into the jail on felony assaulting a police officer, and misdemeanors resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, aggravated menacing and obstruction. He remained jailed Monday.
