Attempted murder arrest: On Sept. 3 at around 8:30 a.m., officers responded to a disturbance at a motel located on the 100 block of West Main Street. The customer was refusing to leave. When officers arrived, they contacted and identified Jonathan Cervantes. Cervantes had a warrant for attempted murder from a case that occurred last year. Many officers responded and tried to contain Cervantes and gain voluntary compliance. Cervantes refused to surrender and a taser was deployed. The taser was ineffective, Cervantes decided to attack an officer, hitting them multiple times and dragging them to the ground.

Cervantes was taken to the ground by force and continued to fight until he was taken into custody. Cervantes sustained moderate injury to one of his arms. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. The officer who was attacked received only minor injuries to the face and head and his uniform was torn.
