RESISTING: Officers were dispatched May 13 to the 19600 block of 94th Street East for a report of someone threatening to shoot a neighbor slash his tires. During the incident, the neighbor making threats sat on his porch drinking a beer and refused to go into his residence while swearing at police and calling them “pigs.” After multiple warnings including one that he would be arrested if he failed to comply, one officer reached over the hedge and poked a cigarette from the suspect’s hand, causing him to become irate. As the suspect was shouting at police, officers grabbed the suspect’s wrist and ordered his hands behind his back. The suspect failed to comply and officers took the suspect to the ground. After a brief struggle, he was handcuffed and taken to a police cruiser. According to the report, the suspect said “I’m going to kill that punk.” The suspect was read his rights, responding with an obscenity after each sentence. He was transported to Pierce County Jail and booked for harassment and resisting arrest. During the booking he twice called the booking officer a racial epithet and directed his profanity at a sergeant.
