No, >> I didn't do anything illegal. >> I didn't do anything illegal. Police confirmed that Tyler showed signs of resistance, clenched his jaw, and clenched his hands into fists. A sign of resistance that could be considered an assault on an officer. The possibility that Tyler was arrested while still on shared rental property raises legal issues about ownership and the right to refuse to cooperate in a welfare check, which could raise questions about citizenship and the legality of the arrest.
