A citizen called police on a male subject at the park who was freaking out, jumping around, and throwing his belongings all over the parking lot.
When police arrived, they identified the subject as 37-year-old Earl Brent Jordan, standing near his items on the ground.
Earl appeared to be agitated and fidgeting with his arms and hands. His skin appeared clammy with sweat, and his speech was slurred. Earl was showing mood swings and said he was trying to throw away his personal belongings, which is why they were scattered all over the parking lot.
Officers told Earl that he needed to clean up his property and cease his behavior, and then they left to give him the chance to comply.
Not long after the officers left, dispatch returned with another disorderly call at the same park. The male subject was again identified as Earl Jordan.
When the police arrived, Earl was rolling on the ground, trying to grab bystanders by their legs as they walked by.
The officers approached Earl and informed him he needed to clean up his property or go to jail. When he refused to comply, Earl was arrested.
Earl then refused to do as he was told and kept his arms spread out forward. The officer then made physical contact with him by grabbing a hold of his right wrist and attempting to place his hands behind his back, to which he responded by physically resisting and rolling with the officer to the ground.
Other officers then engaged with Earl, and they were able to wrestle his hands out from behind his back to place handcuffs on him. He was then escorted to a patrol vehicle.
While officers were attempting to place Earl inside the patrol vehicle, he straightened out his legs to keep himself from entering the open vehicle door. Officers then lifted Earl off the ground and placed him in the vehicle.
Earl is being charged with Disorderly Conduct, Littering, Intoxication, and Interference With a Peace Officer.
Based on the affirmation of Officer Escobedo, the arresting officer, the undersigned magistrate finds that probable cause existed for the arrest without a warrant of Earl Brent Jordan. Earl Brent Jordan may post bail in the amount of $1,960.00.
