40-year-old Tyrone Lamont Dawkins was punching vehicles in a parking lot near Representative John Lewis Way South and Peabody Street late June 6th. When officers arrived, they spoke with security, who advised them of the incident, adding that there were two males, one of which, later identified as Dawkins, was being disorderly, punching a gray BMW sedan. Security provided officers with descriptions of the men. Then, officers located the men and attempted to stop them for questioning, during which Dawkins became uncooperative and refused to identify himself. During their interaction, officers noticed Dawkins reeked of alcohol and showed signs of intoxication. The other male told officers Dawkins’s name and discovered the BMW was registered to him, so they let him walk away. Then, Dawkins walked up to officers in a hostile manner, yelling profanities, so officers detained him. Once detained, Dawkins began jumping in the air while continuing to yell. After being placed in the patrol car, he continued screaming and began kicking the partition repeatedly. This forced officers to place Dawkins in hobble restraints. Dawkins was taken into custody for public intoxication and disorderly conduct on June 7th.
