Shoplifting suspecta fighter, police say
A man spit at Jacksonville police officers, damaged a police car and was placed in leg restraints after officers picked him up Tuesday on a shoplifting report at a Wal-Mart, reports said.
An officer responded to a shoplifting call from Wal-Mart at 2000 John Harden Drive in Jacksonville, according to an arrest report. Police said Krishaad Reynolds, 20, fled behind Wal-Mart into the neighborhood, where the officer found him. Reynolds reportedly gave a false name and date of birth, but the officer confirmed Reynolds' identity with one of his family members.
Another officer joined to assist when Reynolds repeatedly tried to pull away, so the officers placed him on the side of the car, the report stated. Reynolds continued shouting obscenities and spitting at officers, forcing them to take Reynolds to the ground to calm him down, reports said.
When officers placed him in the patrol car, he dented the rear driver's side, reports said, and he was eventually placed in leg restraints.
As of Wednesday evening, Reynolds was being held in the Pulaski County jail on charges of aggravated assault upon an employee of a correctional facility, theft of property, obstructing governmental operations, resisting arrest, second-degree criminal mischief and a parole warrant.
