[NARRATIVE #1 on May 31, 2025]
On May 31st, 2025, at approximately 2037 hours, I responded to the Travelodge in reference to a domestic incident. Upon my arrival, a child opened the door while crying. At this time, I, CPL Bell, and Officer Rodgers made entry and separated the parties.
I then spoke with Ms. [VICTIM #1]. While speaking with Ms. [VICTIM #1], she initially stated that nothing had occurred. However, Juvenile 2 and Juvenile 3 told Ms. [VICTIM #1] to tell the truth. Ms. [VICTIM #1] again stated that nothing happened, at which point Juvenile 2, while crying, stated that Mr. Zaccheus Few had punched Ms. [VICTIM #1] in the face. Ms. [VICTIM #1] then told the juveniles to be quiet, at which point I intervened and instructed Ms. [VICTIM #1] to tell the truth. Ms. [VICTIM #1] then stated that Mr. Few had put his hands on her. Upon asking her to go into more detail, she stated that Mr. Few punched her in the face.
Juvenile 2 then stated that she was also punched in the head while trying to stop the two adults from fighting. I asked Juvenile 2 if she was okay, at which point she stated it hurt really bad. I then felt the area where Juvenile 2 stated she was hit and was able to feel a small knot on her head.
Ms. [VICTIM #1] then stated multiple times that she did not want Mr. Few to go to jail, saying he was trying to get his kids back from DFCS. I then escorted Ms. [VICTIM #1], along with the three juveniles, from the area while Officer Rodgers and CPL Bell attempted to escort Mr. Few out.
After walking Ms. [VICTIM #1] away, I observed Officer Rodgers and CPL Bell escorting Mr. Few by force due to his lack of compliance. I then went to assist with Mr. Few, at which point he began stating he could not breathe and that he was asthmatic. Mr. Few then fell to the floor. CPL Bell attempted to give Mr. Few his inhaler, which he refused multiple times. Eventually, Mr. Few began to comply, and we were able to sit him up and allow him to use his inhaler.
EMS then arrived on scene. EMS conducted a few tests, checking on Mr. Few, and determined that his oxygen level was low, and he had an elevated heart rate and elevated blood pressure. Mr. Few was then transported to Monroe County Hospital to be checked out more thoroughly.
Mr. Few was later cleared by Monroe County Hospital and transported to the Monroe County Detention Center without further incident.
Warrants were issued on Mr. Few for the following charges:
Simple Battery – Family Violence
Cruelty to Children – 2nd Degree

[NARRATIVE #2 on May 31, 2025]
On 05-31-2025 at approximately 2035 hours, I, Corporal Manning, along with Officer Bell, responded to a domestic disturbance at 320 Cabaniss Road, commonly known as the Travel Lodge, Room [REDACTED]. Upon arrival, I made contact with Mr. Zacchaeus Few.
Mr. Few was sitting on the bed eating chicken when I approached him and asked for his ID. Mr. Few refused to provide identification on several occasions, stating that we could only request ID if we suspected him of a crime. After several minutes of verbal exchange, both Officer Bell and I informed Mr. Few that if he refused again, he would be placed under arrest. At that point, Mr. Few voluntarily provided his driver’s license.
I then asked Mr. Few what was going on. He stated that he did not know why the victim was yelling and arguing. He believed she was upset because he needed to retrieve his biological children from DFCS and felt she was not helping with that process. Shortly after speaking with Mr. Few, Corporal Manning came over the radio and requested that we place Mr. Few in handcuffs.
At that time, I asked Mr. Few to stand up from the bed and put his hands behind his back. I placed him in handcuffs, double-locked them, and checked them for proper fit.
Mr. Few then asked what crime he was being suspected of. I informed him that, at that moment, he was not suspected of a specific crime but that we were investigating a possible domestic dispute, which provided lawful grounds to request his driver’s license. After this explanation, Mr. Few stated that he understood and apologized for being argumentative.
Shortly thereafter, we were informed by Corporal Manning, who was the primary officer on the case, that Mr. Few was to be placed under arrest for simple battery – domestic violence. Upon hearing this, Mr. Few became very argumentative and physically aggressive. He attempted to pull away from both Officer Bell and me, stating he had done nothing wrong and would not be “locked up for nothing.”
Officer Bell and I placed our arms under Mr. Few’s armpits and our hands on his shoulders to escort him out of the room and downstairs to the patrol vehicles. While in the hallway en route to the staircase, Mr. Few became increasingly aggressive, attempting to pull away from us. He then refused to walk and dropped his body weight to the ground, stating he wasn’t going anywhere and would not be arrested for no reason.
Officer Bell and I attempted to move him the rest of the way. Upon reaching the staircase, Mr. Few again dropped to the ground and refused to get up, claiming he was having an asthma attack and could not breathe. At that point, Officer Bell requested EMS to the scene and attempted to assist Mr. Few by offering him his inhaler. Mr. Few refused to use his inhaler multiple times.
Once EMS arrived, they evaluated Mr. Few and asked if he wanted to be transported to the hospital. Mr. Few was more focused on stating his case, repeatedly claiming he had done nothing wrong and could not be arrested without cause. After several minutes of arguing with Officer Bell and EMS personnel, Mr. Few requested to go to the hospital and was subsequently transported by EMS from the Travel Lodge to the hospital.
