At 20:40 I'm sitting in the drive through at the local Arbys (uptown) with my son getting an evening snack when I was approached by a man from the car behind me. He motioned for me to open the window as to speak to me. I made sure I had my weapon in hand and rolled down the window 1/4 travel and asked what he wanted. The then states "Sir your car stinks man its a piece of sh*t get this F***ing thing out of here" I reply "You are entitled to your opinion and would you please return to your vehicle". He proceeds to the back of my brick and swings at the rear window shattering it in the process. I get out of my car to arrest the man and he throws a beer bottle through the open window frame striking my son in the head. I quickly look to make sure my son was alright, identify myself as a police officer and inform him that he was under arrest. The man then began to fight with me briefly and my son assisted in the arrest by punching the man out for several minutes. I placed him in handcuffs and called for assistance, I was met by four local officers who took the man into custody for ADW to an officer, crim damage to a vehicle, assault of a minor, disorderly conduct and the driver was charged with having an open container and driving after suspension. Both parties have been placed in the county jail and the vehicle (ironically a saab) was towed to the city impound lot.
I took my son to the hospital and he received 13 stitches to the back of his head.
Rule 1, never mess with an off-duty officer or his 6 foot 230 pound teenage son who works out after doing his homework. You may however speak your opinion in a non threatening manner, even if one hates me, I wont take it personally.
Now how do I replace the back glass? I see the obvious however how can I remove the trim around the glass without breaking it or the little retainers? I hadn't planned on doing much this weekend but I guess no one ever knows the fate of a saturday!
