Cincinnati police arrested two men following a violent confrontation with officers at a gas station on the 2600 block of Jefferson Avenue. The incident occurred at 1 AM on Nov. 1, during a two-hour stretch of high-activity calls for service that included shots fired and disorderly conduct.
Responding officers ordered a crowd to leave the property, but not everyone complied. Police identified 19-year-old Kcalm King Hurry as carrying an open container and refusing to depart. He was charged with assault on a police officer and obstructing official business after being taken into custody the following day.
During the attempt to detain Hurry, Antonio Adams allegedly struck the officers. Police did not release Adams' age. He was charged with assault on a police officer and two counts of resisting arrest. Officers used a TASER to subdue Adams during the scuffle.
Cincinnati police stated that most of the weekend's arrests and incidents happened within that single two-hour window. The department responded to multiple calls in the area, ranging from a deadly shooting to general disorderly crowds.
The Cincinnati Federation of Police described the chaotic conditions at the gas station. Video footage showed the large group of people gathered on the property as officers managed the scene.
Both Hurry and Adams were transported to the Hamilton County Justice Center for processing.
