on March 5th, 2023. At about 4:06 p.m., officers are dispatched to a 911 hangup at an apartment on Valley View Circle. When they arrive, they find Janiah Nichols outside visibly upset with a scratch under her left eye. She insists she wants a man removed from the apartment, but refuses to explain further. As officers try to speak with her, Nicholls keeps breaking away, more intent on shouting back at people gathered in the doorway than cooperating. Inside, a male voice can be heard yelling. And before long, he steps outside, quickly escalating things by arguing as well. >> Ma'am, >> are you all right? >> Yeah. Did you get popped in my mouth? No. >> No. What's going on? What else is on said? I guess you call us. Say somebody. That's it. >> Okay. Hey, listen up on me. What's going on, bro? >> You see what's going on in there? >> No. Okay.

There's zero cooperation. Officer Fryman pulls Nichols aside and warns her to stay back, but she keeps yelling toward the group. When he holds her arms, she twists free, swings an open hand across his chin, strikes his chest, then throws a closed fist punch. Fryman steadies her, and with Officer Burns's help, they handcuff her. In the squad car, she kicks at the interior, and refuses to discuss the incident. >> Ma'am, >> somebody I was dealing with. >> Who are you talking to me right here? >> Who Who is he to you? >> That's my boyfriend. >> Okay. It was my boyfriend. My boyfriend. >> Did anything physical happen? >> No. I asked him for my key. That's it. >> Okay. >> So, he wanted to give him my key. Get to the shit.
