On 03/07/2025 at approximately 2042 hours, I, Sergeant Houser, responded to 2569 North Highway 27 (Bealls Outlet) in reference to a disturbance. Upon arrival, I spoke with four people who advised me what happened.

I first spoke with [WITNESS #1] and [WITNESS #2]. They stated that they were in the store shopping when they observed a male subject inside the store that was using a girl’s phone. They stated that when the girl asked for the phone back from the male, he became aggressive and threatened to punch her. They stated that the girl was visibly frightened and then [WITNESS #1] escorted the male from the store where his wife locked the door so the male could not get back in.

I then spoke with [VICTIM #1], who is an employee of the store. She stated that the male came in and asked to use the phone. She stated that she allowed him to use the phone and after an extended period, asked for him to return the phone. She stated that he became irate and began to threaten her and everyone else inside the store. She said that the male said he would hit her and “fu*k up” anyone who tried to take the phone. She stated that a male customer ([WITNESS #1]) then escorted the male from the store and his wife locked the door. I asked her if she was afraid that the male was going to hurt her and she stated yes, she was also still crying from the interaction with the male.

I then spoke with the manager of the store, [WITNESS #3], and he confirmed that the male was causing a disturbance inside the store after being asked to return the phone. He advised that he was calling law enforcement after the male was escorted out of the store and he stated that the male left the store and was walking south.

I then asked what the male looked like, and they described him as a white male in his twenties with a blonde beard. I suspected that this was Messhick Pankey due to the description as well as this is common behavior for Pankey. Patrolman Phillips then began searching the area for Pankey and located him nearby, he was then placed under arrest for simple assault and disorderly conduct due to his actions. Per the request of the business manager, Pankey was served with a criminal trespass notice upon my arrival at the jail which he refused to sign due to his irate and non-cooperative nature.

Patrolman Phillips will prepare a supplemental report which describes his interactions and apprehension of Pankey.
