They approached a 15-year-old boy, but things quickly spiraled out of control. The team used a walkie-talkie to call his neighbor, 50-year-old Steven John Clear, for help. Clear showed up moments later, armed with a baseball bat and ready to fight the officers. Quickly, you go home quickly. Pick up your bag and go. No, you mate. You'll be tased. You get back now.

One officer was overpowered by Clear, who viciously beat him with the bat. The officer was only saved when his partner stepped in just in time.

Wright was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and battery on a law enforcement officer, causing great bodily injury, as well as domestic assault and battery by strangulation.
