[NARRATIVE #1 on March 02, 2026]

On Wednesday, March 2nd, [2026], at approximately 2202 hours, I, Ofc. Perry #149 responded with Winder Officers to [100 BLOCK] Glenview Terrace, Winder Ga 30680, in reference to a suspicious person. I traveled to the location listed above, CODE 1, in my marked patrol vehicle #400.

Upon arrival, Ofc. Dutcher #141 and Ofc. Harris #121 had already detained Mr. Eight Slayton. I arrived on scene as backup for them. As Eight was being patted down, he started to become agitated and found it best for him to be placed in the backseat of Ofc. Harris #121 marked patrol vehicle #523. Eight also has warrants out of the county that we were waiting to be confirmed.

As we waited for confirmation of the warrants, Eight became irate and acted irrationally. Eight began hitting his head on the clear divider between the backseat and the front seat. I told Eight to stop hitting his head on the glass, but he continued. I determined that, for the safety of Eight and others, it was best to place him in the WRAP to prevent any injury to himself.

I called Cpl. Morris #145 to the scene with the WRAP, while we were waiting for the WRAP to arrive, Eights emotions and attitude continued to escalate. When Cpl. Morris #145 arrived on scene; we removed Eight from the back seat of Ofc. Harris #121 patrol vehicle and began placing him in the WRAP. I assisted with securing the ankle straps and putting the leg buckles in place.

Eight was then placed back inside of Ofc. Harris #121 patrol vehicle and a lap-and-shoulder belt were secured across his person. I then followed Ofc. Harris #121 to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] for a [REDACTED BY AGENCY] for Eight. Eight was given [REDACTED BY AGENCY] at the hospital, and I returned to service with no further issues.
