Hello. Uh, just want to let you know that the trailer is legally parked. >> Okay. Well, so I can go park anywhere in Nicole's act the way he's parked. >> The way he's parked is legal. The way you were parked when I showed up was not. So, I need to see your driver's license so I can issue a citation for blocking the roadway. >> I didn't block the road. >> I Yes, you did. I saw you in Listen. Hey, hey, hey. I'm investigating a traffic crime. You do not have the right to do that. You are detained. >> YOU'RE DETAINED. >> COME HERE. You are under arrest. >> YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. >> ALL FIVE OF YOU. >> YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. >> ALL FIVE OF YOU. >> Quit resisting. >> I'M NOT. OW. >> YOU ARE ACTIVELY resisting against me. >> I am not. >> Hold on. The officer tells the homeowner the landscaper's trailer is legally parked. So the complaint that brought police there, that part is over. But seconds later, the homeowner is being told he is detained. And this ends with officers going through his front door. A parking problem turning into an inhome arrest. That is a wild jump. So, how did it get there? Roll it back because the setup is just as telling. >> Hello. >> Good evening. >> What's going on? >> He's pissed because I'm trying to get this yard done and he doesn't like how I'm parking. >> Okay. Even though I did allow room for everybody else park cuz there's nowhere for me to park without blocking somebody's mailbox or their driveway when that's the yard I'm trying to get to. He's trying to tell me I'm supposed to park down by the elementary school, >> but I did accommodate. Make sure my phone's out. I got space to get around. And as you saw, his own vehicle, he was still able to get out of his own driveway and block the whole freaking section off, which is what he was saying. He couldn't even get back out of his driveway cuz I was blocking the road. Okay. Well, all right then. And of course, too, when I first when I first pulled up here, I got started before I even made my first pass. He came out there jumping yelling, "Hey, what the [ __ ] are you doing? You can't be barking there. How the hell am I supposed to get out of my driveway? If you don't move, I'm going to call the cops and poke me. Jab right in the face. Right in the chest. >> He jabbed you in the chest. >> Yes, sir. >> You want to file uh assault battery charges? >> If he wants to press him out matter about being how he is, then yes. Otherwise, if we can just let things bygones be bygones, then I'd say let it go. But if he wants to keep acting like that, then yes. >> The first officer is talking to the landscaper who says he made room for vehicles and was trying to finish his job. He also says the homeowner confronted him and poked him in the chest. That is his version of events. The raw clip does not show the earlier exchange. So now there are two things to figure out. Was anyone actually blocked? And does the landscaper want to make a complaint? Sounds straightforward until a neighbor joins the conversation. >> Hello. >> How are man? I was just going to say I mean Richard, he's a prick. I mean he's always doing stuff like this. I mean, this guy's just trying to learn and cut yards and I mean, he does stuff like this all the time. >> Oh, I'm very familiar with Mr. Man. >> Yeah. >> I'm just sorry. I just wanted to vouch for him cuz I know you're just trying to do your thing and he's he's always got to be a >> I mean, like you heard him. How How does that make sense for me to go park down by the elementary school to come way down here on my mower and that that's not logical at all. >> Anywhere block anything for him. He just loses his mind. If you exist in this culde-sac, he loses his mind. >> It's pretty ridiculous. And like you saw, like he's saying, he couldn't back out. >> He had plenty of room. Even with my tailgate down, he was able to get out of his driveway and he decided to try to barricade me in here. >> Okay. Did you at any point in time try to leave? >> No, I'm still working. Like I just got done. I'm just Richard was blocking the road. >> Yeah. So I saw his car out here. >> I still got I'm just about done with the edge and I still got to weed and then blow it and then I'm heading off to the next one. >> Okay. You have your ID on you? Certainly. All right. Hold tight for me. Okay. >> Is it okay if I go ahead and keep working? >> Yeah, I don't care. >> Well, Mr. McMahon was on one. Yeah, I'm recording. Mr. McMahon was on one when I got here. Uh, >> see if he's in your cage. >> H I haven't quite determined what we want to do yet. >> The neighbor backs up the landscaper and says the homeowner causes problems with people in the area. The officer says he already knows who they are talking about. And look, that may explain why the officer recognizes the name, but it does not answer whether the trailer is legal today. That still needs to be checked. But listen closely. The officers are already getting personal about the guy before they ever speak to him. >> So, I get here and he's got his little four-door car blocking the entire culde-sac so that he can't leave. Um, as soon as I pull as soon as I pull down the street, he beats feet and pulls back into his garage, shuts all the doors, goes inside. Talking to the RP, who's the the lawn guy over here, he asked if he'd start weeding again. And I'm like, "Yeah, sure." Uh, start talking to him and he's like, "Yeah, he's on a tirade about how I'm blocking the culde-sac. He can't get out of his driveway." He says at one point Richard takes his finger and shoves it into his chest. I said, "Well, do you want to press charges with the salt and battery?" And he's like, "Well, not if he doesn't want to do anything." Kind of a let me think about it situation. So, uh, >> now if Richard doesn't want to do anything. >> Yeah, pretty much. >> What does Richard have to do? >> Oh, he's Rich because Richard is pissed off that he's blocking the Colt sack. So basically lawn guy, Mr. Nunley is like, "Listen, if uh if he doesn't want to do anything, if he if he just wants to drop it, I just want to drop it." Even the firefighter neighbor right there with the two trucks, he was trying to get in his driveway. Richard's blocking the entire culde-sac. Won't let him in. And he comes out and he's like, "Yeah, Richard's a" and I'm like, "Yep, he is." >> Yeah, we're very aware. So, uh, really at this point, I was just going to see what all traffic charges I have on Richard. illegal parking probably would be my guess cuz I asked him I was like were you trying to leave at all and he's like no he was just blocking the culde-sac so I'm like okay um which I can write him a citation for because I saw that and then we just need to determine whether or not he wants to press charges for the assault battery hit him >> he took his finger and shoved it into his chest >> okay >> yeah so it would bring me great pleasure if we could take Richard McMahon to jail tonight >> now another officer arrives and the conversation shifts from facts to frustration. They are talking about possible charges, the reported poke, and how much they dislike the homeowner. One officer says it would bring him great pleasure to take the man to jail. That is the part that should make you pause. The body cam is rolling. The facts are still being sorted out, and jail is already being talked about, like the preferred ending. Now, watch what happens when they actually check the street. >> I'm assuming, Mr. Traffic Officer, that uh you cannot block an entire roadway with your vehicle. McMahon's claim was that he could not get around it, but clearly he was able to if he was blocking it in. >> So, um, >> I don't understand this guy. >> He's a narcissist. He's a narcissist with nothing better to do. >> That's wrong. Richard calls us, but as soon as you roll up, he sees that he's in the wrong. >> Yeah, cuz he doesn't want contact >> and he skirts inside. He knows >> I shouldn't have been doing that. >> Who's the neighbor he has issues with? >> All of them. the one on the back side. >> Well, and then this one down here, he has issues with >> this one over here is kind of race related, isn't it? >> Mhm. >> He's always saying he doesn't like >> Who's the one with the PO against them? >> One on the back. >> The one on the back side. Yeah. >> But is one of these the ones he always calls about the kids? >> That's That's that one back there. No person shall park a vehicle within a street or alley in such a manner or under such conditions as to leave available less than 10 feet of width of roadway for the free movement of vehicular traffic. >> Do you think that would cover this? >> Do you know exactly where he was parking? >> This guy right here. >> Oh, you're talking about this guy? >> Yeah. >> Oh, >> Richard was blocking the entire road. He was perpendicular to the road. >> Talking about trying to >> No, no, no, no. Richard's bought and paid for. I haven't been on the backside, but let's get a let's get a a wheel and go see. And if he's got 10 ft, I say it's fine. >> One officer says the landscaper has enough space and appears to be fine. So, the trailer, the reason this started, does not seem to be the problem. But the resident's car is a different story, at least according to the officers. And once they decide they can sight him, the focus shifts from the street to his front door. That is where this gets messy. So, how about you and I go talk to the victim over here. See if he wants to press charges for the assault and battery. And I was going to add him to the call real quick. McMahon. I hate this guy. >> Yep. Oh, I hate Richard McMahon. I don't care. >> Well, I'll stand back and let you guys take care of it. I just think he's a douchebag. >> Yes, sir. >> Here's your ID back, man. So, uh, do you want to press charges if you assault battery? >> Is he still pressing trying to press me? Am I potentially facing a ticket for not parking legally? >> As from what I can see, you haven't done anything wrong at all. >> Is he still being good with >> I really don't want to, but >> Okay. >> Okay. >> As long as everything's okay. I mean, I was pretty sure I was parked legally cuz I didn't want to obstruct anything. >> The raw audio is hard to ignore here. One officer says he hates the homeowner. Another confirms the body cam is still on and nobody seems bothered by the fact that the camera is catching every word. The officers are not heading over to the house with a neutral tone. They are going over there already angry. So, when the homeowner answers the door, pay attention to how little time it takes before the whole thing explodes. >> It's It's not the greatest, but I also see that, you know, from a practicality standpoint, you don't have a whole lot of other options. Ordinance says you have to leave at least 10 ft all the way around the trailer if you've done that. Um, so I I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just this guy's this guy. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, >> all right. >> Your last yard >> just in case he might come back out because even when I told him I was like, "Well, then I just if you're going to keep back in that way, I'll just press treasure and you give results." Well, you ain't got it on camera, do you? Because of his attitude. What's going on? If you wouldn't mind just waiting like 5 or 10 minutes and I'll be done just in case he tries to come back. >> Yeah, we'll we'll leave somebody out in the cold sack for you. Okay. >> Yeah. All right. All right. Well, he doesn't want to press charges for anything, so we'll just let it go. He's not going to answer the door for his uh improper parking. So, >> you want to try? >> Sure. >> He uh when when I was measuring did open the door, so he's right there. >> No. >> Did he answer the door? Like, did he open the door out of curio? >> He opened the door and then look, and then close the door. So, he's by the door. He's walking. >> Of course, he is. Yeah, we can try. >> The landscaper decides he does not want to press charges over the earlier allegation. That leaves the parking citation. A citation, not the assault allegation, not a fight, a parking issue. And this is the key setup. The officers have resolved the landscaper situation, but they still want to talk to the homeowner about his car. That should be the end of the drama. Instead, it becomes the start of it. Just wait until they reach the door. >> Hello. Uh, just want to let you know that the trailer is legally parked. Okay. >> All right. >> But so I can go park anywhere in Nicole's act the way he's parked. >> The way he's parked is legal. The way you were parked when I showed up was not. So I need to see your driver's license so I can issue a citation for blocking the roadway. >> I didn't block the road. >> I Yes, you did. I saw you and Listen. Hey, hey, hey. I'm investigating a traffic crime. You do not have the right to do that. You are detained. >> YOU ARE DETAINED. >> COME IN MY HOUSE. >> YOU ARE DETAINED >> for what? FOR THE TRAFFIC VIOLATION I OBSERVED. I need TO SEE YOUR LICENSE FOR A TRAFFIC VIOLATION. >> YES, I AM. Open the door. >> YOU'RE DETAINED. >> COME HERE. You are under arrest. >> The officer says he is investigating a traffic crime. Then he says the homeowner is under arrest for a parking violation. You can almost hear the viewer asking the same question. How did we get from show me your license to this? >> YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. >> ALL FIVE OF YOU. >> YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. >> ALL FIVE OF YOU. HEY, HEY, HEY. Let me go. >> HEY, >> you are under arrest. Quit resisting. >> Give me your arm. >> Good lord. >> Hey guys. >> Oh my goodness. >> YOU'RE A FREAK. QUIT RESISTING. >> QUIT RESISTING. >> I'M NOT. >> YOU ARE ACTIVELY RESISTING against me. >> I am not. >> Holy. >> Now you're under arrest for resisting arrest, obstruction, and the parking violation. >> The raw footage does not give us a court ruling on the entry, and we are not going to pretend it does, but it does show the sequence. A citation is being discussed, the door starts closing, and then the arrest happens inside the home. And the conversation after the cuffs go on is somehow even more revealing. >> Okay. >> All right. Don't move so I can get these locked. >> I never resisted you to begin with. >> YES, YOU DID. >> FIVE OF YOU hit me. >> It's all on body cam, sir. >> All right. We're going to get you rolled over. >> Okay. >> All right. All right. >> Let's stand up. >> All right. Wait. >> All righty. Can I bring anything with me? >> What would you like? >> My cell phone. Where's it at? Right there. >> You will grab anything else. >> That should do it. You want your shoes? >> H Yeah. >> Where's your dog? >> There's a leash right there. Sleeper. >> What's your dog name? >> Pepper. >> Pepper. >> Guys, why did you >> assault me? >> We were attempting to investigate crime and you shut the door on us. Other she >> What crime? >> The parking violation. Come on. Hey. Hey, >> the raw footage shows a man in cuffs asking why this became physical while the original issue keeps getting repeated parking. But wait until you hear how the officers talk once he is outside. >> I'm going, GUYS. I'M GOING. I'M GOING. >> HEY, REAL QUICK. We did this once. DO NOT DO THIS. HEY, STOP. THIS CAN GO EITHER WHICH WAY YOU CHOOSE. >> I'M CHOOSING TO GO. >> WALK OUT THERE OR YOU CAN keep fighting US AND GO DOWN TO THE GROUND. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? >> COME ON, >> ALL RIGHT, let's go. I'm knocking. I thought I could walk out here peaceful. I thought that >> Yeah, we shut the door. >> KEEP WALKING. >> ASK HIM. I DON'T KNOW. What am I dealing with? >> I told you. Did somebody grab my phone? I never even tried this or anything. You all came on me like a >> The officers keep moving him toward the cruiser. There is no big speech here, just the reality of what happened. He is being taken from his home and the confrontation that started at the doorway is now an arrest. But the body cam is still rolling and the officer's next conversations may surprise you. >> Wow. >> All right, Richard. You have anything on you? >> No. >> Okay. Sleeper, did you get the phone? It was right next to that uh that end table. >> Get the air turned on for you. >> We also get animal at large. >> Well, I don't think we can push the animal at large. >> Yeah, I'm not willing to push that. >> Sleep or get the dog back inside? >> Yeah, dogs back inside. >> Was that Who was that to him? The other the female. >> Pretty sure it's just a neighbor. So Well, she jumped in to get involved pretty quick, didn't she? >> Sure did, didn't she? >> You want to go ahead and just get him down there? >> Yeah. >> Uh, I'll write them, >> please. >> Okay. >> I'll write up the uh obstructing the flow of traffic or the improper parking citation and uh we'll do the resisting obstruction on top of that. >> Okay. >> The officers discuss his property, his dog, the neighbor who spoke up, and possible additional violations. Notice what is missing. any sign that the temperature is coming down. The arrest did not end the frustration. It just gave the officers more things to consider charging him with. >> Yeah, we'll document that when we get down to the jail. Uh we'll have to do a blue team on it. So, >> yeah. >> No one rendered strikes. >> I understand, but I'm just letting you know. >> Well, because it drew blood, we'll >> Oh, no. I'm just letting General Hey, I didn't take any use of force tactics. >> Yeah, I know. >> But we'll still need to blue team it. So, >> No, absolutely. >> Yeah. >> All right. Uh I'll get him down here. Do you are you in custody? >> I'll take it. >> We'll both be down there. >> Yeah. Doesn't matter. >> Okay. >> Whoever. >> All right. >> All right. Thank you. >> He's got the cell phone. >> Okay. >> Frank 228. >> Would you show me Cassie Mill? >> All right. I'll meet you down there. Thanks, sir. >> Hey, did you lock the door? >> Okay. All right. >> In the end, the landscaper chose not to press charges against homeowner Richard McMahon. Despite being arrested and spending the night in jail, McMahon was released the next morning without ever being charged with a crime. Following the incident, the Broken Arrow Police Department opened an internal investigation into Sergeant Michael Ferguson. Less than two months later, on July 23rd, 2024, the city of Broken Arrow terminated him. But the fallout didn't stop there. In April of 2025, McMahon filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Broken Arrow, Ferguson, and other officers involved in his arrest, alleging unconstitutional seizure, excessive force, and violations of his Fourth Amendment rights. And this is where the case gets even more interesting. The lawsuit wasn't based on just this encounter. Nearly a year earlier, Ferguson had responded to another call involving McMahon that also ended with McMahon being arrested. That earlier incident later became part of McMahon's argument that the city had already been given a warning about Ferguson's conduct before this encounter ever happened. In March of 2026, [snorts] a federal judge allowed portions of McMahon's case against the city of Broken Arrow to continue, including claims tied to whether the city failed to properly address Ferguson's earlier conduct. The court has not ruled that the city is ultimately liable and the lawsuit remains ongoing. So, we want to know what you think. After hearing Ferguson say he hated McMahon and that it would bring him great pleasure to take him to jail, do you believe this arrest was based on the law, or had Ferguson already made up his mind?
