How you doing? >> Good. >> You're not Mike, are you? >> Where's Mike at? Do you know in the back over there? >> Oh, back there. Hello. >> He's outside. >> That aggressive. There he is. Officer, they'll come in or go to your room. Okay. >> He want to talk to you inside. >> Why don't you finish this? Why >> don't you tell me what's going on first? He threatened to jump on Felix, the man sitting in the chair. >> Jump on him. >> Yeah. They were like this in each other face. >> Okay. >> And he was telling him to hit me. Hit me. And he got mad cuz we take the clients on activities. >> Okay. >> He was upset officer because he couldn't have no popcorn or pop tonight. If you go to the movie, that's all we can afford to pay for. >> Okay. And there's another staff in the kitchen. He's >> Did he threaten to hurt staff or anything? >> I was just trying to defend the staff. >> Okay. >> And I didn't have any choice, but I didn't do anything. I was just trying to defend him because >> there was a lot of bad people that live here and I don't >> Did he do anything to you? >> No. >> He didn't hit you or anything. Very aggressive. >> Did he threaten you? >> Did he threaten me? Yes. >> What did he What did he say? >> Well, he didn't hit me, but he said, "Hit me. Hit me. >> Hit me. Okay. All right. Did he threaten staff at all? >> No, not me. No, he didn't make any threats to staff. He just kept telling him to hit him and so we separated them. >> Um, you going to cop? >> No, there's another one coming. >> There's another one coming to Why? Huh? >> Why you got a buddy? >> Go ahead. Tell me your side of the story. It's fine. No, you want you want to shoot me, don't you? Why don't you pull that out? >> Relax. Relax. You want to go on cuffs? DON'T >> GO on cuffs. >> Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> I haven't done anything wrong. >> Roll over. >> Stop. >> Roll over. >> Stop. >> Ask your buddy to come here. >> Roll over. >> You just hit my head on the floor. Stop. >> You want medics? >> You want medics? >> Stop. >> You want medics? >> I'm asking you to stop. >> You want medics to come check you out? >> You have no reason to assault me like that. No reason. >> What's that? Trying to roll them over. >> I'm not. >> What are you guys doing? And this is the moment where the situation goes from verbal confrontation to physical resistance. Officers are attempting to place Michael in handcuffs while he repeatedly insists that he has done nothing wrong. But from the officer's perspective, they are dealing with a rapidly changing situation and they have to control it before someone gets seriously hurt. Then comes the critical allegation. An officer says Michael reached toward his firearm. That is an extremely serious claim because attempting to access an officer's weapon can turn a disorderly situation into a potentially dangerous encounter in seconds. Do you think Michael understood how serious that movement could look to police? >> I haven't done anything wrong. >> You're going for assault on a PO. What? For an assault you reach for my gun? >> No, I didn't. Yes, you did. >> No, I didn't. You can't be doing that. >> I didn't reach for your gun. Sir, stop. double. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We'll get three of them on there. >> You said you're going to shoot me, aren't you? Reach for my gun. I'll ad bite your tongue medic 302. Let's get a case number. Ident supervisor for a Shoot me. Okay. >> No one's going to do that. >> Okay. Stand right there. >> I'm pointing at it. >> Can you see it? I did. >> You both did. >> What's your first one? >> We're going to get you taken care of. All right. Look, it's nothing personal. You can't reach for my gun. >> I wasn't reaching for you, sir. >> I was pointing at it. >> All right, sir. >> I was pointing at it. >> Look, Mike Wsworth. I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to hurt you. You can't be doing that [ __ ] All right. >> All right. All right. You good? >> Yeah. We got medics coming. You all right, Mike? >> Can you breathe? Okay. >> I think he bit his tongue. >> He reached for my gun. I pushed him over. >> Yeah. >> No, he fell backwards. >> Here, the officers begin explaining their perspective after the struggle. One officer says Michael reached for his gun and that he pushed him over, while another account describes Michael falling backward. Meanwhile, Michael is being checked for injuries, including what appears to be an injury inside his mouth. This is a significant detail because the encounter did not end simply with handcuffs. It also created a medical concern that officers had to address. But the central issue remains the alleged attempt to access an officer's firearm. If an officer genuinely believes a suspect is reaching for their weapon, the perceived threat can change the entire level of force used during the encounter. >> Frank GPS just wanted to shelter. >> Can you Which way do you want to go? >> He's the best. You >> all right? Contact American. Okay. Do what? >> Huh? >> To what? Huh? >> We're going to have to switch his cuffs back around to your back later on. We'll leave them out front for now. >> I really wasn't grabbing your shirt. >> You were You were trying to >> It's over now. It's fine. Worry about it. She's coming. >> Say that again. The first thing. Thanks, guys. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Do the same. >> Appreciate it. >> Thank you. >> You made a mistake, man. Now we got to deal with it. Okay. >> Yep. No one's upset at you. No one's going to hurt you, but you made a mistake. We got to deal with it. Okay. >> You made a mistake and now we have to deal with it. It's where we're at. >> You taking me to the hospital or what? >> Well, medic's going to check you out first. Okay. >> Huh? >> Medics are going to check you out first. They're going to come see you and check you out. >> Well, they're going to decide from there. They're going to check you out and evaluate you. You may be going to the hospital. You might going to jail. >> You are going to have charges. Okay. >> It's not the end of the world, but you did do what you did, right? Okay. So, there [snorts] was no >> So, as far as I'm hearing, there's no threats against staff directly or anything like that. >> There was, I guess, another male client. >> Okay. Does he have these episodes a lot? >> No. >> You got his name and all that, too? >> Yeah, he's attached. Um, everyone's on their way. >> I got to do the whole ident thing. >> I can do the case. >> What you don't mind? >> At this point, officers are making it very clear that the alleged gun interaction is the reason this case has become so serious. Michael continues to argue that he only pointed toward the firearm, while the officer explains that witnesses saw him actually reach for it. The officer then makes another important point. Whether Michael intended to grab the weapon or simply point at it, reaching toward an officer's firearm is an extremely dangerous action. The footage also shows officers trying to keep Michael calm while explaining that he will be taken to jail and eventually see a judge. So, the question for viewers is simple. Was this a misunderstanding during a chaotic struggle? Or did Michael cross a line that police could not ignore? here in a couple minutes. Medics are going to be here. They're going to ask you some questions. You just need to answer them and then we're going to get some pictures of you. Okay. >> Pictures of you. >> Yep. Of your mouth. >> What? That bad, is it? >> No, it's not that bad, but we just have to get pictures because you tried to take a firearm from an officer. >> No, I told you that. >> We've got witnesses saying that you did try. So, that's what's happening tonight. >> You think I tried to take this guy? I swing. >> You reached for his gun. It's that you did not do this. You your whole >> Yeah, my hand was like that. >> But that's reaching. That's This is pointing. This is reaching. You reached for the gun. If he was pointing, you would have used the finger. But either way it goes, you shouldn't have did either. You should never do that to a police officer. You have been aggressive all night, >> Michael. You're going to go to jail and get charged with what you're and then you're going to see a judge and get out. Okay. You're not. This isn't the end of the world. >> Hey. >> All right, Mike. You want to stand up or you want to switch? >> Eventually need behind his back. >> Uh-huh. You >> can if you want. >> So, we're going to take you to Pulk County Jail for your transport. >> Okay. >> We don't mind other partners coming on here as well. They're going to require that your hands are behind your back. >> Okay. >> I would do I would do it afterwards just for him getting off the wagon >> on and off. >> We put Oman in this small compartment. >> That's fair. We'll be right back. >> All right. No problem. >> We're just getting your ride set up. >> Yeah, we're going to get you in a bigger compartment. >> Huh? We're going to get you in a bigger compartment. >> What's that mean? >> You're going to have more room in the wagon. >> You don't trust me without cuffs. >> This is just standard procedure. >> Not so tight, please. >> I'll loosen them up once I switch them out. Can you update my location from the station to another? >> Wait, wait, wait. Can you spin my >> Wait, he's saying it's got to be behind my back. >> Yeah, they're going to do that once you get off the wagon, though, cuz it's going to be hard now. >> Do you want your wrist turned the other way? >> Uhhuh. >> You want your wrist turned the other way? That's better. All right, here we go. Now, the officers are reviewing what happened among themselves, and this conversation gives us a clearer picture of how the investigation is developing. They discuss the allegation that Michael attempted to disarm the officer as well as the assault allegation. There is also some uncertainty about exactly when the physical contact occurred in relation to the alleged reach for the firearm. That timing can be extremely important when evaluating whether an officer's use of force was a response to a perceived threat. The witnesses were apparently not completely certain about the sequence either. Ultimately, officers decided the evidence supported charges for assault on a police officer and attempting to disarm an officer. He's been pretty sw in the back. Okay. So, we're just going to go back to this van over here and set you up and we're going to take you kind of Okay. You guys need another double check. Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Thank you ladies. Have a good night. >> You too. Be safe. >> Thank you. First want to know how long the cab just a Just go over here. >> You have your machine to take with you. >> We'll make sure you don't fall. Be careful nowhere. >> I don't think we can get a seat belt on you. I don't think we can get a seat belt on you. >> Just take it easy. All right. >> Got a Yeah, it's in >> seat machine. I called ahead. They said they would take it for >> him. is popular. Thank you guys. >> He tried to disarm me. >> He did. Yeah, >> he did disarm me or he tried to. >> He tried to what? >> I don't know. It was bizarre. >> Standing next to him. He came out for it. >> He came in pretty hot. He said, "You bring your buddy with you. >> I know he's coming. Why? >> You better wait till he gets here. Why? Why don't you just shoot me? You want to reach over that first. Did you punch him in the face? Before he reached for your gun, he said that. >> Why don't you shoot me? >> Yeah. >> Okay. The witnesses weren't sure if it was before or after. That's why. I don't know. Did >> you punch him in the face when you reached? >> No, I just pushed him over. >> I came in and he was just on his back crying, wondering what happened. >> What' you charge him with? >> Um, sorry. Charging him. We charged him with assault on PO and then disarming an officer. >> Attempted his arm. Yeah. >> We should have charged that last too. You don't want to put that against you, >> right? >> Yeah. >> I didn't know that. >> Do that for a while. >> I don't know. For how long did you do it? >> Super humble guy. >> For like a year and a half. >> Don't compliment him. >> He must have not had too many fights because no one that pretty has been through that many fights. >> Hope you don't get hit. So, this incident ends with Michael being transported to the county jail and booked on charges of attempting to disarm a police officer and assault on a police officer. The footage provided does not show a later courtroom ruling conviction or sentence, so those outcomes cannot be assumed. What is clear is that a confrontation inside a group home escalated from alleged threats between residents into a physical struggle with police and a serious allegation involving an officer's firearm.
