Two Fayetteville police officers were injured after a fight at IHOP in Fayetteville.
Police said officers responded to the business before 3 a.m. Wednesday after employees called about an intoxicated customer.
Officers attempted to arrest Hiram Graham, 35, of Fayetteville. Officers applied one handcuff before Hiram yanked his arm away and tucked it into his torso. Police attempted to use a taser, but it didn't work properly.
Shortly after, Hiram's brother, Joemo Graham, 33, began a physical fight with an officer. Police attempted to deploy another taser.
Hiram was able to grab an officer's baton. According to police reports, Hiram struck an officer repeatedly on the head, spine, torso, and extremities. The officer suffered an eight-inch gash to the top of her head. She also had a cut on her lip and multiple bruises. Another officer received minor injuries during the incident.
A witness grabbed Hiram's arm, stopping him from hitting the officer. The officer took out her gun and threatened to shoot Hiram. At this point, police were able to arrest the Graham brothers.
Hiram is charged with attempted capital murder, aggravated assault, battery 2nd degree, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication. Police say use of a police baton is considered lethal force when it's used to hit the head and spine.
Joemo is charged with battery 2nd degree and hindering apprehension. Hiram and Joemo were taken to the Washington County Detention Center.
The officer hit by the baton was taken to a local hospital. She had a large, open injury to her head, which required multiple staples to close. She also received stitches on her chin. The second officer was treated for cuts, scrapes, and bruises. Both officers were treated and released.
My thoughts too. Coppettes are fine but should not be dispatched on a D&D call. Too often this story happens. She should have backed off and threw down a lot sooner. as the story goes that will usually work.
I will close comment before I make a comment that might be called racists
Of course I believe they voted. They had all the qualifications. They were probably felons, thus eligible to vote under current dimocrat rules. They both look like thugs, thus eligible to vote under Chicago gang land thug Obama rules; sure, they voted! Free stuff GETS YOU TO VOTE!!! Just ask any dimocrat!!! :-)
We were supposed to be taxed for fine schools, and ripping down shacks for public housing and then in a generation a lot of ‘problems’ would be solved.
Well, the money is gone, the debts are piled higher and the social problems are worse.
The hole is deeper and we’re broke.
I am sooo impressed!! 16 pages of images come up instantly - he’s web wide! LOL!!!
OR The Cloward-Piven strategy is REAL and they WANT the total collapse of society to remake it in THEIR image...remember its only paranoia if they are NOT out to get you...
Wholly Truth, Batman! My cousin and I went to a Golden Corral in Dickson City, PA (next to Scranton.) This 450 lb narwhal, and his almost-as-corpulent wife come in. He's sporting an oxygen tank, dirty sweats, a ratty t-shirt, and his gut and company is hanging over his waistband. His wife had more rolls than the Stroehmann's bread truck. I watched what they selected on the food line. I immediately became squeamish, as did my cousin, and we could no longer consume food. That place is perfect for someone wishing to go on a diet. Just watch the other feral pigs at the trough, and you won't want to eat for days!!!!
Yes... they're nerds. :-)
Local sheriff’s deputy deployed his dog under a porch looking for a fleeing suspect. The suspect kicked the dog in the jaw so the deputy called back the dog and shot the guy with a Taser. Unfortunately, for the perp, one of the taser darts hit him in the testicle, which made for an extremely effective electrical contact.
Excellent!
Would you like some pancakes with that sarcasm?
;-)
Please don’t get me started about politically-correct five- foot, 105 pound female police officers...
Actually, I’m surprised the venue wasn’t a Waffle House.
WALKER TEXAS RANGER
“...IHOP and Dennys seem to bring out the worst in people these days.”
Maybe the worst people go to IHOP and Dennys? And let’s not forget the Waffle House...
I can see the glass inside breaking, but the actual plastic case?
Sometimes employers hand those out instead of giving actual money raises, and then they get all miffed if you don't display the damn things.
“Amish” used where the ethnicity of the perp is obvious but it’s politically incorrect to say so. Not just n-word, m-word or Moose in some other contexts.
I hate false enthusiasm.
A lot of jobs are boring, suck for marginal companies that don’t pay much. It’s better when everyone just admits their company is barely hanging on, and we all couldn’t get a better job.
Yes. I often kind of feel sorry for the ‘employee of the month’ thing I see in fast food, Wal Mart places. I know a bar that has one up as a joke and has the same picture of the same bartender that got fired five year ago
