On June 20, 2025, while on normal patrol, I, Ptl. Tenesha Jackson, responded to 417 W Third Ave in reference to a Disorderly Conduct.
Upon arrival, I made contact with Phoebe Security. They advised that a Black male, who had been recently discharged, was refusing to leave the premises. Security further stated that the individual, later identified as Nathan Duncan, had been acting aggressively toward staff prior to my arrival. The staff also informed me that Nathan had been asking about a wallet they did not have in their possession. Security provided me with a phone number for Nathan’s brother: [REDACTED].
I approached Nathan, who was seated in a wheelchair in front of Phoebe Main. When asked why police had been called, Nathan replied that he did not know. Nathan then turned his attention to the security staff, stating that they had his wallet and that he was not leaving without it. At that point, Nathan became increasingly agitated and began using indecent, vulgar, obscene, threatening, and abusive language toward the staff.
I, along with Cpl. Covington, gave Nathan multiple verbal commands to sit down and remain calm. Despite repeated de-escalation efforts, Nathan stood up from the wheelchair with clenched fists and aggressively charged toward staff members, clearly intending to initiate a physical altercation.
I drew my department-issued Taser and gave Nathan a clear verbal warning that he would be tased if he did not comply. Due to Nathan’s continued aggression and the immediate threat he posed to staff and bystanders, I deployed my Taser. The probes struck him in the back and lower leg, resulting in neuromuscular incapacitation. Nathan was safely restrained in double locked handcuffs without further incident.
Ptl. J. Bryant removed the Taser prongs from Nathan’s back and leg. Sgt. Dorminy responded to the scene. Nathan was transported to the Dougherty County Jail Facility by Ptl. Q. Davis.
Nathan Duncan was charged and cited for Disorderly Conduct (BB001999) and Interfering with City Officers (BB002000).
This case was cleared by arrest.
