From ‘rolling on the pavement and screaming’ to ‘bleeding from his face,’ charged with attacking cop

By LENNY COHEN

MOUNT DORA, Fla. (CohenConnect) – “The man appeared to be in distress as he was rolling on the pavement and screaming.”

That’s who a police officer in Florida wrote about finding after hearing “a loud scream” while “conducting area patrols” at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1.

“I immediately exited my patrol vehicle to make contact with the male to conduct a well-being check,” the arrest report continued, but it seemed the man rolling around didn’t want any help.

“He continued to act erratic [sic] and screamed what sounded like ‘this is some good s***’ and ‘f*** you.’

“I attempted to talk to the male and ask what substance he took, in order to determine my next course of action,” the officer wrote, before calling paramedics.

“The male was repeatedly asked for his name,” but the officer didn’t get that information either.

“He then stood up and began pacing around and walking away. I then attempted to have the male sit down as I believed he may harm himself or others in his current condition.”
