The order was protecting a female who was not present in the area as she was already cleared through customs after arriving with the suspect from Puerto Vallarta (PVR), which arrived at 6:55 p.m. When she cleared customs, the female departed terminal D for Terminal C, gate C10 to board to St Louis.

Officers instructed DFW Communications to conduct a check on the suspect, a protective order returned against him.

The suspect attempted to explain the order was old and protected a different female.

The suspect stated the female was his fiancé. The suspect stated the person protected was the female from 2013. The suspect explained he had been in Mexico with the female.

He admitted he was served in August of 2017 with a temporary restraining order by the female, but he insisted the order was not valid because she, “Didn’t show back up for court.”

The suspect attempted several times to call her on his phone with no answer.

The suspect told officers there was an incident between himself and the female a few months earlier, and they were arguing on the plane ride to DFW Airport, but he insisted the protective order was expired. The NCIC detailed hit showed an issue date of August 2, 2017 and an expiration date of August 3, 2018.

Officers asked which gate was he flying out of and he responded, “Gate 44,” but the flight crew denied him boarding, due to his intoxicated state. Officers noticed his speech was slurred as he responded to their questions and his eyes were in a bloodshot state. Officers asked if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages today, and he stated he had consumed three beers on the flight into DFW Airport from North Carolina.

At this time, he started a conversation about why he was denied boarding in a matter which didn’t make sense. His conversation on why he was denied boarding consisted of his “Dude” not getting along with the “Boss” because the Boss is sleeping with his Dude’s divorced wife and the Boss had admitted to embezzlement. As the suspect was speaking, he starting moving his left arm in a circular motion, laughing and stating “Heyyy.” Officers asked him to stand up and as he did, they noticed he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person.

The suspect saw officers approaching from a distance and removed himself from the cart. They identified themselves as DFW Airport Police Officers and asked the suspect where he was traveling to and he stated “Jacksonville, Mississippi” which was home for him. He stated he had been in the DFW area for four days on business. They asked him for his driver’s license. He handed the officers his driver’s license and officers ran a check of the suspect through DFW Communications for any TCIC/NCIC warrants, that later came back clear.

Officers asked the suspect if he was at T.G.I. Fridays and if he had anything to drink. It took him a few seconds to answer “Jagger and water.” Officers responded with “huh” and he stated “water.” They continued to ask a series of questions involving how many alcoholic drinks he had, and numerous times the suspect would not focus his attention on the interrogating officers, but rather at another officer who was doing the check through TCIC/NCIC.

They asked what he had to drink, he responded, “Literally, four drinks.” They asked what they were and he stated, “One Jagger, one Coors, one Miller Lite, and Bud Light.” They asked if he had eaten anything while at T.G.I. Fridays, and he stated, “I ate before, but not here.” He stated the last time he had eaten was around 4:45 p.m. Officers asked “On a scale of 0 -10 with 10 being the most intoxicated you have ever been in your life, and 0 being sober, where would you say you are right now?”, to which he stated “8.”

Officers were concerned for the safety of the suspect as well as the traveling public due to him being intoxicated, not being able to answer simple investigative questions consistently, lack of being able to divide his attention, and him being in an area with hard floors, moving escalators, and stairs. Due to him being intoxicated in a public place and a danger to himself or others, officers placed him under arrest for Public Intoxication.

During the handcuffing, the suspect became resistant and grabbed one of the officer’s thumbs not allowing them to cuff him. Officers took the right arm of the suspect which was tensed up and attempted to maneuver it to where they could cuff it. The suspect kept his arms tensed, so officers placed him against a wall to get both hands where they could cuff them. Once they got the handcuffs on they began to escort him out to the patrol vehicle. Numerous times, he tried to turn around and was not cooperating in walking outside.

Officers performed a search and tried placing him in a patrol vehicle. The suspect refused to get into the patrol vehicle and was told several times to get into the vehicle. The suspect finally cooperated. He was transported to Station One Jail with no other issues.

The female left her bags near the entry doorway, and an officer instructed her to bring them with her. She went to retrieve one bag and the officers noticed she was unsteady on her feet. She only brought one of her two bags with her, so when she crossed the crosswalk to go back and get the second bag, the officer noticed her stumbling across the crosswalk. When she arrived, she put her bag down, and started to fall backwards, when a firefighter on traffic control caught her.

The officers asked her how she was getting to her next destination and she said, “Uber.” They noticed her phone was dead and asked “Is that your only phone?” to which she said, “Can I have a minute?” Officers asked her if there was anyone who could pick her up to which her response was “No.” They asked if she had to take an Uber or Taxi and she said, “Correct.” They asked how much she had to drink, and she said, “Way too much.” Officers advised they were uncomfortable placing her in an Uber due to her intoxication.

They asked again if there was anyone who could pick her up, and she said, “No.” Officers were concerned for the safety of the suspect due to her high level of intoxication, her unsteadiness on her feet, her not having a charged phone to make an emergency call with, and her not having a friend or family member to come pick her up. Due to her being intoxicated in a public place and a danger to herself or others, they placed her under arrest for Public Intoxication and escorted her over to the patrol vehicle located in the parking garage for transport.
