On January 2, 2024, Upper Arlington Police Officers were called to an apartment complex where a heavily intoxicated man crashed through his glass front door and was causing a disturbance. Officers arrived to find the 27-year-old suspect being pinned down by a friend. The man was incoherent and bleeding. After he refused medical treatment from the fire department, a decision was made to take him into custody for his own safety. He began to fight the officers, who handcuffed him and wrapped him up like a burrito in a bed sheet. For this encounter, he was charged with 3 felony counts of assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. He eventually was accepted into an "Intervention In Lieu of Conviction" program, where he was placed on probation that included counseling and regular drug testing. On July 22, 2024, the same man was stopped by Columbus Police Officers for making an unsafe lane change. Officers suspected him of being intoxicated, so he was asked to perform standardized field sobriety tests. He was placed under arrest for Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence. Because he refused to submit to an evidential breath test, officers felt there was no reason to take him to the police station. He was issued a citation and was given a courtesy ride home. On October 16, 2024, he pleaded guilty to an amended charge of Having Physical Control of a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence. He was fined $50.00 plus court costs for this conviction.
