On the date and times listed I Ofc World was parked in a parking lot patrolling Ga1 at Cordle Dr. A comcast work van pulled up beside me and a male later identified as [VICTIM #1] (Comcast Worker) advised he attempted to call the police but was unable to connect due to him calling the business hour line. Mr. [VICTIM #1] advised he was working on the state utility pole in the yard of [10 BLOCK] Cordle dr when the resident approached him. Mr. [VICTIM #1] advised initially he did not believe the resident later identified as Robin Easterling was speaking to him. Mr. [VICTIM #1] advised Mrs. Easterling then began to yell racial slurs/ fighting words at him such as the word “N*gger” multiple times. Mr. [VICTIM #1] then advised Mrs. Easterling then sprayed him with the water hose after he asked her not to. Mr. [VICTIM #1] then asked if I could attempt to make contact with Mrs. Easterling (which I already was planning to do) and advise to her that the actions and words she expressed were completely inappropriate.

I then proceeded to the front door and knocked on the door and pressed the doorbell. Mrs. Easterling then came to the door, slinging it with force open. I immediately identified a bottle of whiskey in Mrs. Easterling’s hand. I then advised Mrs. Easterling that I would need to speak with her and to exit the residence. Mrs. Easterling was visibly irate but exited the residence onto the porch. I then advised Mrs. Easterling that I was speaking to her because I was advised she spayed the comcast worker with a water hose and yelled racial slurs.

Mrs. Easterling advised that the information was true. I then advised that the situation was inappropriate and that due to that being a state utility pole Mr. [VICTIM #1] was authorized and sent to work on it. Mrs. Easterling then began to argue with me advising she is the one that placed that pole and that comcast is stealing money from her. Mrs. Easterling was then asked to provide me her name and failed to do so on multiple occasions. Mrs. Easterling attempted to enter the residence and close the door multiple times while I attempted to gather information from her. I held the door open while she attempted to close it and she attempted to move my hand and swung towards my face with an open hand.

I then advised Mrs. Easterling, if she attempted to enter the residence she would be arrested, she then appeared to settle and sat on the swing on the front porch while I attempted to run her name Mrs. Easterling gave me her first name Robin and when asked for her last name she would not provide. Mrs. Easterling then attempted to enter the residence again so I advised her that she was under arrest. I then grabbed her arm and pulled her back outside, she then attempted to escape from my grasp causing multiple socrates on my right wrist area. Mrs. Easterling was then escorted to the ground where she continued to grab objects and attempt to keep her arms from being placed in handcuffs. Mrs. Easterling was made aware multiple times she was under arrest and failed to comply by pulling away, grabbing objects and kicking me. Mrs. Esterling even called me a ‘N*gger” on multiple occasions.

I then got control of both arms and placed her in handcuffs. The hand cuffs were checked for proper fit before double locking. On the way to the patrol car Mrs. Easterling continued to yell out racial slur/fighting words in the presence of the neighborhood while neighbors were outside watching the incident unfold. Mrs. Easterling was then placed in the marked patrol vehicle and transported to the Floyd for medical clearance due to her being escorted to the ground and bleeding. On the ride to the hospital Mrs. Easterling continued to yell and state racial slurs. At the hospital Mrs. Easterling yelled and stated racial slurs on multiple occasions to the medical staff. After Mrs. Easterling was cleared from the hospital and she was transported to the Floyd County Jail for booking. At the jail I contacted the original complainant Mr. [VICTIM #1] and asked if he would like to press charges for the original incident to which he denied wanting to press charges.

Backseat checked before and after transport.
