Reporting Officer's Narrative
DEFENDANT'S VERSION/REMARKS (What did the defendant say?)
Knight refused to participate in any field sobriety test at the scene, but R/Os determined by observation that Knight was intoxicated. Therefore, any remarks were of questionable reliability. Knight claimed Price had deliberately incited him to violence in an effort to sue Knight for financial gain. Knight refused to allow R/O Hallett to place him in handcuffs because "no woman is going to arrest me." When R/O Whiting attempted to handcuff the defendant, Knight initially refused to submit, saying he "could take" R/O Whiting. R/O Whiting verbally subdued the defendant within a few minutes and took him into custody without further incident. |
